A hybrid name. The second element seems to be Scand. Hafnar, or Hamnarvik, 'harbour creek.' This was the mouth of the Lhane or Lhen, where tradition asserts that King Orry landed. Physical features have undergone much alteration here since Norse days, for it is probable that a large lake existed wherein the Norse-men could safely moor their flat-bottomed galleys. Balla, 'farm,' is a later addition.

Mona as a second element in Manx names may have two meanings: I. A boggy or turfy place; 2. A brake or shrubbery.
