Boru
Good question. I've always thought it alluded to Irish king Brian Boru, but that mighty be a bit too esoteric
Irish people will often tell you they are descended from The Kings of Ireland. Not a all unusual, most Irish people are. In days of yore, Ireland was arse deep in small kingdoms and kings.
There is a 'village' in Clare with my family's name, Ballywhatever. Not sure which came first. Today there is a church ruin and a very old grave yard. The name remains on detailed maps of Ireland. .

Brian Boru (Middle Irish: Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig; modern Irish: Brian Bóramha; c. 941 – 23 April 1014) was an Irish king who ended the domination of the High Kingship of Ireland by the Uí Néill and probably ended Viking invasion/domination of Ireland.[2] Brian built on the achievements of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and especially his elder brother, Mathgamain. Brian first made himself king of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, eventually becoming High King of Ireland. He was the founder of the , and is widely regarded as one of the most successful and unifying monarchs in medieval Ireland.

Ballyvaughan? Oh and if the name starts with Bally or Kil, the peson comes first. Bally means town, so Ballyvaughan is Vaughan's Town and Kil means church, Kilkenny *spit* being Canice's church.
To be funny there is a town called Killaboy, and another called Muff. The latter have a diving club.
