Mooncoin (Móin Choinn in Irish) is a village situate in the far south of County Kilkenny, in Ireland, just 10 km from Waterford City on the main Waterford to Limerick road. The village has continually received high scores in the Tidy Towns competition, and is said to have taken its name from a man by the name of Coin Walsh. The Irish translation of Mooncoin is 'Móin Coin', which means "the bog of Coin" or "Coin's bog" or "Quinns Bog".
