Toponymy

The name Ballingry may come from the Scottish Gaelic baile iongrach, meaning “oozing estate”, possibly from the springs on the slopes above the town. It may also be ‘the village of Jesus (or, the church’) or something similar, in that the name is a combination of the Gaelic ‘Ball’, or village, and ‘INRI’ for ‘Jesus’
