The locality, which had had several Irish-language names, was first called Cove ("The Cove of Cork") in 1750. It was renamed Queenstown in 1850 to commemorate a visit byQueen Victoria. This remained the town's name until 1920 when it was renamed Cobh with the foundation of the Irish Free State. Cobh is a gaelicization of the English name Cove and has no meaning in the Irish language
