"cillín chaoimhín" is the associated irish name for hollywood; its literal translation being kevin's small church. another, older irish name is "cnoic rua", literally meaning "red hill". this may be a reference to the red berries of holly trees on the hills above the village or it may in fact be a reference to the presence of wicklow heather. another possibility is that the original name for hollywood may have been holy wood, as a reference to saint kevin's passage through.
