O'Hare Irish Family Gifts & Heritage

O'Hare is the anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó hÍr, "descendant of Ír." Patrick Woulfe's Irish Names and Surnames records the O'Hares as an Oriel family from the barony of Orior in eastern County Armagh, closely related to the O'Hanlon sept who ruled that territory within the ancient kingdom of Airgíalla. O'Hare is not related to O'Hara, a separate Sligo sept from an unrelated Gaelic root, despite the similar spelling.

You'll find the O'Hare crest across woven blankets, mugs, garden flags, ceramic ornaments, coaster sets, license plates, and t-shirts here — plenty of ways to work the name into daily life or put it on display, whatever suits the person you're shopping for.

Works well for a birthday, a get-together, a trip back to County Armagh, or honestly just because. A mug or blanket blends into daily life, while a flag or t-shirt makes more of a statement.

The best choice really just depends on the person — some people want it on the wall, some want it in their pocket, some want it on their morning coffee.
