Balbriggan (/bælˈbrɪɡən/; Irish: Baile Brigín) is a town in the northern part of Fingal, Ireland. The 2016 census population was 21,722 for Balbriggan and its environs.[1]

According to P.W. Joyce, the name arises from Baile Breacain [sic], which literally means “Brecan’s Town”.[2] Brecan is a common medieval first name and there are several other Brackenstowns in Ireland. There is also a possible link to the local Bracken River, in which case the name could derive from breicín, meaning “little trout”.
