Presumably the name is transferred from some nearby hollow to the mountain itself. Price has a useful note to this effect, but is unable to determine the hollow in question. There are three valleys in the vicinity: Fraughan Rock Glen to the north-east, the South Prison to the south-east and the North Prison to the north-west. The first two are both forested nowadays. The summit is marked as Percy's Table, named after a local landowner of the 18th century. Cf. Dawson's Table on Galtymore. P.W. Joyce gave the original form as Log na Coilleach, 'hollow of the (grouse) cocks'. However this seems doubtful. It does not show the urú which would be expected. Nor is the name connected with the deity Lug.   Lugnaquilla is the highest mountain in the Wicklow area and the 12th highest in Ireland. Lugnaquilla is the highest point in county Wicklow.

wild brians first trek up lug
by wild_brian  14 Sep 2016
set off from fentons pub in glen of imaal. as said above followed the military road trail behind the put and onto camarahill, which is quite steep and in a warm day like today had me sweating buckets. be advised to keep the military poles on your left.upon the summit of this lug is visible. ground levels off for a bit and a trot across a bit of flat bog with an impressive view of the north prison and then the incline starts again. just below the summit of lug there is a trickyish rock section to navigate. after this rocky section the summit is a calm easy stroll uphill to the cairn. impressive views from the top and a good solid strong breeze!
on the decent again the rocky part is tricky and advised to take time on way down. very enjoyable trek up and down for me. will certainly do this again. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/13/comment/18631/
