In the OS Name Book John O'Donavan suggests the derivation Cnoc Lomannach [JOD], 'hill of the pinnacle'. This would account for the anglicised form Knocklomena. There seems to be some confusion between Ir. meannán, 'a kid goat' and mionnán, 'a pinnacle'.   Knocklomena is the 215th highest place in Ireland.

Scramble from the south east
by markmjcampion  30 Mar 2021
Having managed to get down from Bascadh to Lough Beg in one piece, I skipped across the stepping stones at the south of Lough Fadda, took a deep breath and went for it! I was initially aiming quite a bit to the left to gain a relatively easy ridge but I kept getting drawn in to the steeper ground straight ahead [starting at approx. V80220 76289 starA] where opportunities for all grades of scrambling were on offer. There were a few blind alleys along the way but there were always plenty of options and plenty of little ramps too which was great as a respite from the more heart-in-mouth stuff!
If you've a head for heights and are used to scrambling I'd strongly recommend giving it a go.
The descent to the col on the road above Lough Brin was easy enough especially the first km which had enough snow on it to afford a little recklessness! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/208/comment/22607/
