Why is Derry also called Londonderry? May 07, Ireland's Content Pool. Mr Justice Weatherup made the decision after a judicial review on the issue brought by Derry City Council. The council had wanted the government to accept its view that the name of the city is Derry rather than Londonderry. The judge ruled that just because the council had changed its title to Derry, this did not mean the name specified back in the 17th century was changed. He said only legislation or Royal prerogative could change the city's name.

Sinn Fein councillor Kevin Campbell said they would continue the fight to get the name changed. In the name of the nationalist-controlled council was changed from Londonderry to Derry, but the city itself continues to be officially known as Londonderry. The name Derry is an Anglicisation of the original Gaelic name of the city, Doire, meaning oak grove. The London prefix was added in when the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I to reflect the association with the City of London and in particular The Honourable The Irish Society which had been granted lands in and around the city.
