Oranmore is a village east of Galway City.  It is likely, however, that this name commemorates one of the holders of the peerage title Baron Oranmore and Browne (see also Bantry Street and Dunmore Street).

“On application of the owners, your Committee have named two new streets off Broadway and Falls road Nansen Street and Iveagh Street; new streets off Springfield road, Cupar street and Clonard street, Aboo street, Bantry street, Benares street, Bombay street, Cawnpore street, Dunmore street, Dingle street, Lucknow street, Oranmore street, Tralee street, and they have changed the name of Faloon’s court to Fleet street place.”  Minutes, Town Improvement Committee, 23 June 1897.
