Fitz-Gibbon Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Fitz-Gibbon name is a Norman-Irish surname rooted in the same tradition that produced many of Ireland's great medieval family names — fils de Gibbon, son of Gibbon, a diminutive of Gilbert, carried by Anglo-Norman families who came to Ireland after the twelfth-century invasion and took root across the island. The name appears in Irish records through the medieval and early modern period, part of the broader world of Norman-Gaelic Ireland. This woven blanket features the Fitz-Gibbon family crest set against the Irish National Tartan — a piece for those who carry this name with pride.

Roots & History

The Fitz-Gibbons were connected to the wider Fitzgerald-Gibbon network of Norman-Irish families, found principally in Munster, particularly in County Cork and the surrounding region. The name sits within the same family of Norman-origin Irish surnames that includes FitzGerald, FitzMaurice, and FitzGibbon of Limerick — the White Knight branch of the Fitzgeralds — whose influence in the south of Ireland lasted for centuries. For those who carry the Fitz-Gibbon name today, the heritage is rich in both Norman origin and Irish identity.

Construction

This blanket is woven using premium cotton yarn — the design not printed onto the fabric but created within it during the weaving process. The Fitz-Gibbon family crest and the Irish National Tartan pattern are part of the cloth structure itself, giving the piece real woven depth, consistent pattern detail on both sides, and a substantial, durable quality. Traditional fringed edges complete the blanket in keeping with its heirloom character.
