Correct on the translation. However, no specific meaning ... other than being an alternative to "Ebony Bull"Brians Cravat wrote:'An Tarbh Dubh'. 'The Black Bull'!

I knew from visits to Dublin that, 'Dubh' was 'black' and the rest just took a little research. Incidentally,, I find it interesting that we have 'Blackpools' on either side of the Irish Sea.
