Leap (Leim Ui Dhonnabhain in Irish) is a village in County Cork in Ireland. Its full Irish name means "O'Donovan's Leap" and is derived from the story of a chieftain called O'Donovan, who was pursued by English soldiers, but escaped them by jumping across a ravine at the bottom of the village. Interestingly, the name is pronounced "lepp" and not "leep" as one might expect.
