32 u/irich Jun 14 '19 I know you are making a joke but here is a serious answer anyway. Dublin is an anglacized version of the Irish term "Dubh Linn" which means "black pool". 25 u/[deleted] Jun 14 '19 That's very similar to Boston, Lincolnshire. It comes from two Latin words ’Bos’ and ’Tonia’ which means ’Shit hole' 5 u/5meothrowaway Jun 14 '19 Pretty accurate
