Strangford ...

derives it name from the Vikings who descibed it as, “the strong fjord”.

At first the name Strangford only applied to the lough entrance, which has a strong tidal current, while the rest still bore the Irish name Loch Cuan “lough of the harbours”.

Loch Cuan is an inlet of the Irish Sea between Ards and Down districts, Northern Ireland. The lough (lake) is about 16 miles (26 km) long and 4 miles (6 km) wide, with a very narrow entrance, which cuts across the northeast-southwest trend of the rocks in the area.
