Rev. Patrick Woulfe derives it from the Norman “de Ketyng,” meaning “of Ketyng,” a place he could never pin down, and counts the Keatings among the earliest of the invaders. They settled in County Wexford, where they received large grants of land, and spread from there into Carlow, Kildare, Tipperary, Waterford and Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn south Tipperary the family held Moorestown in the barony of Iffa and Offa. That household produced Geoffrey Keating, Seathrún Céitinn (c.1580–1644), who learned Irish, Latin and history at the Mac Craith poetry school at Burgess and then trained for the priesthood in France. His \u003cem\u003eForas Feasa ar Éirinn\u003c\/em\u003e, finished about 1634, told Ireland’s story from the creation of the world to the coming of the Normans and answered hostile writers such as Giraldus Cambrensis and Edmund Spenser. Three centuries later the Limerick-born painter Seán Keating (1889–1977) put the name on \u003cem\u003eMen of the South\u003c\/em\u003e and led the Royal Hibernian Academy from 1948 to 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Keating piece pairs the crest with the Irish National Tartan, on a woven cotton blanket in three sizes, a lightweight printed throw, an 11oz accent mug, a framed silver-tone Christmas ornament, a polyester twill wall pennant and a House of Keating garden flag in two sizes.
