Fitz-Harris Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Fitz-Harris name is an Anglo-Norman Irish surname formed from the Norman fils de tradition — son of Harris, the name Harry or Henry in its familiar form — carried by families who came to Ireland during the medieval period and became part of the island's complex tapestry of Gaelic and Norman life. The Fitz-Harris families appear in the Irish record across Leinster and Munster, their name a mark of Norman origin grown deep in Irish soil over generations. This Irish woven blanket honours that heritage, featuring the Fitz-Harris family crest against the warm tones of the Irish National Tartan.

History & Heritage

In County Wexford and the broader Leinster region, Fitz- surnames were characteristic of the Anglo-Norman families who settled thickly across the south-east of Ireland after Strongbow's arrival in 1169. Harris — from Henry or Harry — was a name common across both Norman and later English communities in Ireland, and the Fitz-Harris families that emerge in the records were part of this settled Norman-Irish world, a world that produced many of the families whose names are most associated with Irish identity today.

How It’s Made

This blanket is woven, not printed. The Fitz-Harris family crest and Irish National Tartan are formed within the cotton yarn during weaving — integral to the cloth structure rather than applied to its surface. The result carries genuine textile depth: real woven pattern, consistent on both sides, with a soft but substantial feel from the premium cotton yarn. Traditional fringed edges complete the piece.
