Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock est un burgh du council area de l'East Ayrshire (dont elle est la capitale administrative) en Écosse, avec une population de 45 000 habitants environ. Elle est située dans la région de lieutenance d'Ayrshire and Arran. De 1975 à 1996, elle était la capitale administrative du district de Kilmarnock and Loudoun, au sein de la région du Strathclyde. Kilmarnock se trouve entre Glasgow et Ayr.

Elle est parfois appelée du nom raccourci « Killie » par ses habitants.

Elle est connue comme étant la ville d'origine du whisky Johnnie Walker, vendu à ses tout débuts, en 1820, dans cette ville.

Kilmarnock pourrait être le lieu de naissance du héros écossais William Wallace.

Signification du nom

Le nom de la commune provient du vieux mot gaélique kill, « église », et du nom de saint Marnoch ou Mernoc. Ce patronyme se retrouve dans les localités de Portmarnock en Irlande et de Inchmarnock. « Marnoch » a lui-même une origine typée : mo (mon) et « Ernán » (nom du saint) et une désinence diminutive.

Le nom de « Kilmarnock » signifie donc « l'église de mon petit Ernan ».
