Named after Glanworth, a town, townland and parish in Co. Cork. Glanworth Gardens, along with Glanworth Drive, is part of a group of streets off Antrim Road with names beginning in Glan-. See also Glandore Avenue / Drive / Gardens / Parade, Glanleam Drive, Glantane Drive and Glantrasna Drive. All of these are place-names in the province of Munster, but beyond this they have little in common. Glan- is usually an anglicisation of the Irish word gleann, 'valley'. “On the recommendation of the City Surveyor the Committee approved of proposals to name new streets as follows: …for Burnside Estates Ltd. new street off Ballysillan Road Faburn Park; portion of Glanworth Drive south of Glandore Avenue renamed Glanworth Gardens”. Minutes, Improvement Committee, 5th January 1965.
