Name

The ''Irish Placenames Database'' records varying spellings of the village name in both Irish and English. Such placename spelling variations are common in Ireland. The two Irish versions are ''Tulach Ruacháin'' (which appears on road signs at the entrance to the village) and ''Tulach Shrutháin'', the latter being assigned as the official default Irish name by the database. ''Tulach'' means hillock or mound, and ''sruthán'' means stream, so the latter variant means ''hill of the stream''. A number of anglicised spellings are recorded including Tulrahan, Tulrohaun, Tollrowghan, Tullrohane, and others.Variant names for Tulrahan at the ''Irish Placenames Database''
