The Liffey (An Life in Irish) is a river in Ireland, which flows through the centre of Dublin.

The river was previously named An Ruirthech, meaning “fast (or strong) runner”. The word Liphe (or Life) referred originally to the name of the plain through which the river ran, but eventually came to refer to the river itself.
