Cootehill (/ˈkuːthɪl/; Irish: Muinchille, meaning 'ridge')[8] is a market town and townland in County Cavan, Ireland. Cootehill was formerly part of the neighbouring townland of Munnilly.[9] Both townlands lie within the barony of Tullygarvey.[8][9] Cootehill is 20 km north-east of Cavan town and 20 km south-west of Monaghan town. As of the 2022 census, the population was 1,856.[1]
The English language name of the town is a portmanteau of "Coote" and "Hill", the family names of a local 18th century landowning family.
