Page 19 of the Chief Executive's report on the KGLAP Pre-Draft Consultation notes that the the spelling of Kiltiernan has varied over the years from as early as the 17th Century.
The Chief Executive's report includes a historical map of the area illustrating the 'Kiltiernan Domain' and 'Kiltiernan' place names on Tailte Éireann maps from the first edition of the 6inch map (1829-1841).
Contemporary mapping from Tailte Éireann retains this spelling if Kiltiernan.
