There are multiple explanations for the name Cockleroi. The most phonetically plausible is derivation from Gaelic*cochull-ruadh meaning "red cap, hood or mantle".[6] Less convincing Gaelic derivations are *cachaileth ruadh, "red gate",[6]*cuchailte ruadh, "red residence, seat".[6] The name may be Brittonic and derived from *cloc-erjo- (from *clog, "rock, crag, steep cliff", Welshclegyr),[6] suffixed with rūδ, "red" (Welsh rhudd),[6] but this requires double metathesis and unexplained reversion of -e- to –o-.[6]
