Bayr ny Managhan

Language
Also known as: Bayr ny Managhan

Manannan's Road, the old name for the road leading to St John's and the Tynwald site. Kneen identified the St John's end of this road as Follagh y Vannin, which he argued was a corruption of Bollagh Vanannan, Manannan's Road, the English word road being added when the meaning of the Manx had become obscure. The road names preserve the pre-Christian connection between Manannan and the site where Tynwald would be established.
