The name refers to a dark tidal pool on the site of the castle gardens at the rear of [[Dublin Castle]], where the [[River Poddle]] entered the [[River Liffey|Liffey]].
 
Historically, scribes writing in [[Insular script|Gaelic script]], used a ''b'' with a [[dot (diacritic)|dot]] over it to represent a modern ''bh'', resulting in Du(i)ḃlinn. Those without knowledge of Irish omitted the dot, spelling the name as ''Dublin''.{{cncitation needed|date=June 2024}} The Middle Irish pronunciation is preserved in the names for the city in other languages such as [[Old English]] {{lang|ang|Di'''f'''elinDifelin}}, [[Old Norse]] {{lang|non|Dy'''f'''linDyflin}}, modern [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] {{lang|is|Dy'''f'''linnDyflinn}} and modern [[Manx language|Manx]] {{lang|gv|Di'''v'''lynDivlyn}} as well as [[Welsh language|Welsh]] {{lang|cy|Du'''lyn'''Dulyn}} and [[Breton language|Breton]] {{lang|br|Du'''lenn'''Dulenn}}.

It is now thought that the Viking settlement was preceded by a Christian ecclesiastical settlement known as ''Duibhlinn'', from which ''Dyflin'' took its name.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Medieval Dublin, the making of a metropolis|last=Clarke|first=Howard|publisher=Irish Academic Press|year=1995|isbn=978-0716524595|page=44}}</ref> Beginning in the 9th and 10th centuries, there were two settlements where the modern city stands.

===Climate===
Similar to much of the rest of northwestern Europe, Dublin experiences a [[maritime climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|''Cfb'']]) with mild-warm summers, cool winters, and a lack of temperature extremes. At [[Merrion Square]], the coldest month is February, with an average minimum temperature of {{convert|4.1|C|F|abbr=on}}, and the warmest month is July, with an average maximum temperature of {{convert|20.1|C|F|abbr=on}}. Due to the [[urban heat island]] effect, Dublin city has the warmest summertime nights in Ireland. The average minimum temperature at Merrion Square in July is {{convert|13.5|C|F|abbr=on}}, and the lowest July temperature ever recorded at the station was {{convert|7.8|C|F|abbr=on}} on 3 July 1974.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/historical-data|title=Historical Data: DUBLIN (MERRION SQUARE) - Station No. 3923|publisher=Met Éireann|access-date=9 June 2022|archive-date=24 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624195529/https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/historical-data|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
The highest temperature officially recorded in Dublin is {{cvt|33.1|C}} on 18 July 2022, at the [[Phoenix Park]]. A non-official record of {{cvt|33.5|C}} was also recorded at Phoenix Park in July 1876<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Dooley |first1=Katherine |last2=Kelly |first2=Ciaran |last3=Seifert |first3=Natascha |last4=Myslinski |first4=Therese |last5=O'Kelly |first5=Sophie |last6=Siraj |first6=Rushna |last7=Crosby |first7=Ciara |last8=Dunne |first8=Jack Kevin |last9=McCauley |first9=Kate |last10=Donoghue |first10=James |last11=Gaddren |first11=Eoin |last12=Conway |first12=Daniel |last13=Cooney |first13=Jordan |last14=McCarthy |first14=Niamh |last15=Cullen |first15=Eoin |date=2023-01-03 |title=Reassessing long-standing meteorological records: an example using the national hottest day in Ireland |url=https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/53027 |journal=Climate of the Past |language=en |volume=19 |issue=1 |pages=1–22 |doi=10.5194/cp-19-1-2023 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2023CliPa..19....1D |issn=1814-9332}}</ref>
 
Dublin's sheltered location on the east coast makes it the driest place in Ireland, receiving only about half the rainfall of the west coast. [[Ringsend]] in the south of the city records the lowest rainfall in the country, with an average annual precipitation of {{convert|683|mm|0|abbr=on}},<ref>{{cite web |publisher=European Climate Assessment & Dataset |title=Climatology details for station DUBLIN (RINGSEND), IRELAND and index RR: Precipitation sum |url=http://eca.knmi.nl/utils/calcdetail.php?seasonid=0&periodid=1981-2010&indexid=RR&stationid=1958 |access-date=21 December 2012 |archive-date=1 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201182200/http://eca.knmi.nl/utils/calcdetail.php?seasonid=0&periodid=1981-2010&indexid=RR&stationid=1958 |url-status=live }}</ref> with the average annual precipitation in the city centre being {{convert|726|mm|0|abbr=on}}. At Merrion Square, the wettest year and driest year on record occurred within 5 years of each other, with 1953 receiving just {{convert|463.1|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rainfall, while 1958 recorded {{convert|1022.5|mm|in|abbr=on}}.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/historical-data|title=Historical Data: DUBLIN (MERRION SQUARE) - Station No. 3923|publisher=Met Éireann|access-date=9 June 2022|archive-date=24 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624195529/https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/historical-data|url-status=live}}</ref> The main precipitation in winter is rain; however snow showers do occur between November and March. Hail is more common than snow. Strong Atlantic winds are most common in autumn. These winds can affect Dublin, but due to its easterly location, it is least affected compared to other parts of the country. However, in winter, easterly winds render the city colder and more prone to snow showers.
 
The city experiences long summer days and short winter days. Based on satellite observations, [[Met Éireann]] estimates that Dublin's coastal areas typically receive over 1,600 hours of sunshine per year,<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Met Éireann |title=Sunshine and Solar Radiation |url=https://www.met.ie/climate/what-we-measure/sunshine |access-date=2 May 2024 }}</ref> with the climate getting progressively duller inland. Dublin airport, located north of city and about {{Convert|10|km|mi}} from the coast, records an average of 1,485 hours of sunshine per year. The station at Dublin airport has been maintaining climate records since November 1941. The sunniest year on record was 1,740 hours in 1959, and the dullest year was 1987 with 1,240 hours of sunshine. The lowest amount of monthly sunshine on record was 16.4 hours in January 1996, while the highest was 305.9 hours in July 1955.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Met Éireann |title=Historical Data - Monthly Average (1941-present) - Dublin Airport (mly532) |url=https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/historical-data |access-date=2 May 2024 }}</ref>

Dublin was traditionally a city of two languages, English and [[Irish language|Irish]], a situation found also in the area around it, [[Thethe Pale]]. The Irish of County Dublin represented the easternmost extension of a broad central dialect area which stretched between Leinster and [[Connacht]], but had its own local characteristics. It may also have been influenced by the east [[Ulster]] dialect of [[County Meath]] and [[County Louth]] to the north.<ref>Williams, Nicholas.

===Current era===
The native language of most Dubliners today is English, and several local dialects are subsumed under the label [[Dublin English]]. Dublin nowalso has many thousands of habitual Irish speakers, with the [[2016 census of Ireland|2016 census]] showing that daily speakers (outside the education system) numbered 14,903. They form part of an urban Irish-speaking cohort which is generally better-educated than monoglot English speakers.<ref>{{cite web| publisher = Central Statistics Office | work = Census of Population 2016 | title = Profile 10 Education, Skills and the Irish Language |url = https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp10esil/p10esil/ilg/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201208225214/https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp10esil/p10esil/ilg/ |archive-date=8 December 2020 }}</ref>
 
The Dublin Irish-speaking cohort is supported by a number of Irish-medium schools. There are 12,950 students in the Dublin region attending 34 [[gaelscoil]]eanna (Irish-language primary schools) and 10 [[Gaelcholáiste|gaelcholáistí]] (Irish-language secondary schools).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/files/Education-through-Irish.pdf|title=Education through the Medium of Irish 2015/2016|year=2016|publisher=gaelscoileanna.ie|access-date=1 January 2018|archive-date=1 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101135552/http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/files/Education-through-Irish.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
Two Irish language radio stations, [[Raidió Na Life]] and [[RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta]], have studios in the city, and the online station [[Raidió Rí-Rá]] broadcasts from studios in the city. A number of Irish language agencies are also located in the capital. {{Lang|ga|[[Conradh na Gaeilge]]}} offers language classes and is used as a meeting place for different groups.{{factcitation needed|date=December 2023}} The closest Gaeltacht to Dublin is the [[County Meath]] [[Gaeltacht]] of [[Ráth Cairn]] and [[Baile Ghib]] which is {{convert|55|km|0|abbr=on}} away.
