Gleann means valley and Madagh means either dog or fl in Gaelic, so Glenamaddy would translate as The Valley of the Dogs or Valley of the Black Plain.
The second versions seems logical, as the lake dries up in summer, and the floor of the lake is covered by fl sediments, consisting of clay and peat.
