__NOTOC__ [[Image:Rock of Cashel.jpg|thumb|View from the Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary]] Ireland has been known by many names throughout time. The first name given to the land was Island of Woods, and this name was given by a warrior of the people of "Nin, son of Bel.” The second name was Land at the Limit of the World, and the third name was Noble Island. In the time of the "Firbolg" it had this name on it. The fourth name was Eire, and this is from the name of the queen of the Tuatha De Danann, that is to say Fodhla and Banbha. The next name was Inis Fail, the Island of Stone, which is the stone of destiny that the Tuatha De Danann brought with them. It is a tabu-stone, for it used to roar under the person fit to be king when the assembly of the men of the island met at Tara. The next name was Isle of Mists, and the next was Scotia. The next name was Hibernia, and after that Irlanda. This means the land of Ir, who was the son of Mile, and he was the first man of that clan to be buried on the island. It is said that the Greeks called the land Ogygia, which is to say the most ancient land. | __NOTOC__ [[Image:Rock of Cashel.jpg|thumb|View from the Rock of Cashel in Co.
