It's named after a Scottish beach . On Mull The original name in Gaelic was *Cala-ghearridh* with the first part *Cala*, meaning "harbour" or "bay", and the second part, *ghearridh " meaning "preserved piece of pasture", "enclosed pature", or "farm". Therefore, a translation of "Calgary" would be "preserved pasture at the harbour", or "bay farm". Is Calgary near a coast ?
