Hogan comes from the Gaelic Ó hÓgáin, a Dál gCais family of Brian Boru's kindred seated at Ardcrony near Nenagh in north Tipperary. Woven and printed blankets, a mug, an ornament and a wall pennant set the Hogan crest on the Irish National Tartan, joined by a House of O'Hogan garden flag and a Celtic harp tee.
Hogan is the anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó hÓgáin, “descendant of Ógán,” a personal name formed from óg, young. O'Hogan keeps the old prefix that most families dropped, and both spellings belong to the same name and share this collection.
The leading Ó hÓgáin family were Dalcassians, part of the Dál gCais kindred of Brian Boru, and Woulfe traces them from Coscrach, Brian's uncle. Their seat was Ardcrony, about four miles north of Nenagh in the Lower Ormond country of north Tipperary. A second, separate Ó hÓgáin family belonged to Corca Laoighdhe in southwest Cork, and the name is now very common across Tipperary, Limerick, Clare and Cork. Croke Park's Hogan Stand honors Michael Hogan, the Tipperary footballer shot on the field on Bloody Sunday, 21 November 1920, while the sculptor John Hogan (1800–1858) made his name in Rome.
The range sets the Hogan family crest on the Irish National Tartan across a woven cotton blanket, a printed throw, an accent mug, a framed Christmas ornament and a wall pennant, with a House of O'Hogan garden flag and a Celtic harp Irish Heritage T-shirt alongside.
