Focusing on the southern parishes of Kirk Malew, Kirk Arbory, and Kirk Christ Rushen, this volume presents an alphabetical compilation of placenames, addressing interpretation challenges and revealing unique name-forms absent in existing Manx literature. It reinterprets some names, linking them to the Early Christian period, thus enriching the historical context of Manx history. The work highlights the significance of placenames in understanding topography, settlement patterns, and the evolution of Manx Gaelic, while also contributing to comparative studies with regions like Ireland and Scotland.
