“Iveagh,” area built at old Broadway Village, named after the Iveagh Trust. Iveagh Crescent, Falls Road, was originally called Celtic Parade.
Iveagh occurs in the names of four baronies in Co. Down: Iveagh Upper, Upper Half; Iveagh Upper, Lower Half; Iveagh Lower, Upper Half; and Iveagh Lower, Lower Half. Iveagh is derived from the Irish Uíbh Eachach, 'descendents of Echu' (PNNI vol. VI).
"The City Surveyor submitted memorial from residents in Celtic Parade requesting that the name of that street be changed, and suggesting Iveagh Crescent as a suitable alternative. The Committee were informed that the memorial referred to had been signed by at least two-thirds of the residents in the street, as required by statute, before the name of a street may be changed. Resolved – That the request be acceded to". (4th June 1935).
