{"title":"Kennedy Irish Family Gifts \u0026 Heritage","description":"\u003cp\u003eKennedy is the anglicised form of Ó Cinnéide, \"descendant of Cinnéidigh,\" a personal name generally read as combining ceann, head, with a root for armoured or helmeted — \"the helmeted chief.\" The Ó Cinnéide descend from the Dál Cais, the Munster dynasty that produced Brian Boru, the High King who fell at Clontarf in 1014; tradition even identifies the family's own ancestor, Cennétig, as Brian's father, which would make the Kennedys and O'Briens branches of the same royal household. Their territory was Ormond, the lordship along the Shannon corridor between north Tipperary and east Clare, where the family held castles and church patronage and negotiated a long, shifting relationship with the Butler Earls of Ormond who later took the same ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGriffith's Valuation and the Tithe Applotment Books still show the deepest Kennedy concentrations along that Shannon corridor, around Nenagh and the river parishes between Killaloe and Portumna, with the name spreading over time into Limerick, Kilkenny, Offaly, and eventually Ulster. The Famine years scattered Tipperary and Clare Kennedy families to Boston and the American northeast in especially large numbers — among them the Wexford-born line of Patrick Kennedy of Dunganstown, whose great-great-grandson became President John F. Kennedy, though that family's roots lie apart from the Ó Cinnéide lords of Ormond. A separate Scottish Clan Kennedy of Ayrshire shares the same Gaelic root by pure coincidence of name, not descent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings the Ó Cinnéide story home in everyday form — crest blankets, flags, ornaments, drinkware, and apparel set against the Irish national tartan — for Kennedy families marking their own Munster roots.
