scon1916: Shouldn't Dublin be called Linndub because, in Irish, the adjective always comes after the noun?
Dubh linn is grammatically incorrect; Linn dubh is.
Was there some outside interference in naming the city?
The name Dublin derives from the Irish word Dubhlinn, early classical Irish Dubhlind/Duibhlind, from dubh meaning "black, dark", and lind meaning "pool", referring to a dark tidal pool. This tidal pool was located where the River Poddle entered the Liffey...Dubh linn is grammatically incorrect; Linn dubh is.

It's typical of the Irish language to put a sentence or word in the opposite order than how you say it in English.Dubh linn is grammatically incorrect; Linn dubh is.

Normally it's a case of something being of something else if that makes sense.
Dubh linn, black pool. Maybe Dubh linn should have been named Blackpool in English. But Normans and Vikings and Gaels stuck with the Dubhlinn, or Norse Dyflin. In Irish Gaelic it is Baile Athá Cliatha. The town near the hurdles. The hurdles over the river liffey back in the 800's. Slán
