the ancient roman writer pliny and the ancient greek ptolemy knew about the island and referred to it as "limnus" or "limni". its irish name, "reachra", was eventually joined by a norse name based on the root word "ey" for island. the name "lambey" probably originated with the practice of sending over ewes to the island in spring to lamb in a predator-free environment. the belief that the fore part of the name in norse is from the word "lamb" makes perfect sense, but may be a later rationalisation for a name based on whatever the name of the island was at the time of pliny and ptolemy and the word "ey". the irish name for the nearby coastal area of portrane, "port reachrainn", originated from its position facing the island.
