Limerick city stands at the point where the river water meets the sea water of the estuary. The Shannon is tidal east of Limerick as far as the base of the Ardnacrusha dam.

title: Shannon (given name)

text: Shannon (given name) Shannon ("wise river") is an Irish name, Anglicised from Sionainn. Alternative spellings include Shannen, Shanon, Shannan, Seanan, and Siannon. The variant Shanna is an Anglicisation of "Sionna" ("possessor of wisdom"). "Sionainn" derives from the Irish name "Abha na tSionainn" for the River Shannon. Because the suffix "ain" indicates a diminutive in Irish, the name is sometimes mistranslated as "little wise one". The name "Sionainn" alludes to Sionna, a goddess in Irish mythology whose name means "possessor of wisdom". She is the namesake and matron of Sionainn, the River Shannon. Sionainn is the longest river in Ireland. Sionainn
