Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Bit puzzled by your question. Don't know of the name in Ireland where i have lived for 66 years. "Kill" or " is part of some names like "Killeen " or many placenames such as Kilkenny". In the native Irish language the prefix " Kil" refers to a church formed by a saint. Kildare refers to a church by a femalle Irish saint. It was built of Oak, the Irish word for Oak is "doire". Kilkenny refers to a church founded by St, Choinnaig. Dunno if this helps but come back if you need further clarification.
