Help with name please

[BevL]

Hi,
On going through public trees I came across not one, but several people with the name of Knockanimpaha, Limerick for the marriage in 1841 of my gg grandparents Patrick Carroll and Mary Power.
Now, I have searched long and hard to find this name and wonder if any one can suggest a name that would be similar to say, someone copying it from a certificate and not reading it correctly.
This is the only thing I can think of, but which means that someone had a marriage certificate to copy from in the first place - and where is it? Then again, someone may have told them the name and they misheard it!
Please make my Easter!
Kind regards
Bev

Hi BevL

I don't know about it being a surname, but there is place in Limerick, Ireland called Knockanimpaha.

1841 is too early for a civil marriage record but the details could have come from a church record of the marriage or a family Bible.

It means the Hill of the turning. I am sure if you look at it on a map the reason it is called this should be obvious.

Thank you all so much - my sanity is returning and it seems that I may be able to find out something about them at last!
Kind regards
