Bearna is the official name in Irish while Barna is the anglicised spelling.

Barna (Bearna in Irish)^[2][3] is a coastal village on the R336 regional road in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. 7 km west of the centre of Galway city, it has become a satellite village of Galway. The village is Irish speaking and is therefore a constituent part of the regions of Ireland that make up the Gaeltacht.

In 1976, a community development group called Comharchumann Bearna Teoranta^[4] was formed after five local men put up the purchase money for 2 acres (8,100 m²) at Troscaigh Thiar to be used for community purposes and has succeeded in developing several recreational facilities. ^{[citation needed]}
