The name comes from the [[Old Irish]] ''airecal'', meaning "[[oratory (worship)|oratory]]". There is no remains of an oratory on the mountain, so it may refer to the mountain as a whole as a place of [[prayer]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.logainm.ie/en/1166085|title=An Earagail/Errigal Mountain|website=Logainm.ie}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dil.ie/1892|title=eDIL - Irish Language Dictionary|website=www.dil.ie}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last = Tempan | first = Paul | title = Irish Hill and Mountain Names | url = http://www.mountaineering.ie/_files/Paul%20Tempan%20Irish%20Mountain%20Placenames%20-%20Feb%202012.pdf | date = February 2012 | access-date = 2 June 2021}}</ref>
