“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).
