== History ==
The area takes its name from the Irish word "Bléan" which means a creek. The suggestion that it derives from the [[Baron Blayney|Blayneys]] of [[Castleblayney]] originates in an inaccurate statement in Livingstone's History of Fermanagh.{{citation needed|date=August 2011}}<ref>[[Peadar Livingstone|Livingstone, Peadar]] (1969) ''The Fermanagh Story: a documented history of the County Fermanagh from the earliest times to the present day''. Enniskillen: Cumann Seanchais Chlochair</ref> Blaney Bay, on Lough Erne was a good location for prospective settlers
