Etymology
There are multiple explanations for the name Cockleroi. The most phonetically plausible is derivation from Gaelic *cochull-ruadh meaning "red cap, hood or mantle".[5] Less convincing Gaelic derivations are *cachaileth ruadh, "red gate",[5] *cuchailte ruadh, "red residence, seat".[5] The name may be Brittonic and derived from *cloc-erjo- (from *clog, "rock, crag, steep cliff", Welsh clegyr),[5] suffixed with rūδ, "red" (Welsh rhudd),[5] but this requires double metathesis and unexplained reversion of -e- to –o-.[5]
