I LIVE IN A TOWNLAND CALLED DRUMAROAD. I AM TRYING TO FIND HOW IT IS SPELLED IN IRISH, AND IF POSSIBLE THE MEANING.

I have been told The name Drumaroad comes from the Irish derivation ‘Druim ar rod’, which means Ridge of the Road.

I hope someone can help, and clarify my query

I'd go for

Drumaród

The meaning you gave sounds authentic

Thanks for your comments, but I have been given two different Irish ways of spelling Drumaroad. and two different meanings, does any one have any thoughts or reasons why the two different types of spelling and meanings??

.

1 - Drumaroad comes from the Irish derivation ‘Druim ar rod’, which means Ridge of the Road.

2 - Drumaroad is spelled Droim an Róid in Irish, and means the Road Hill
