Fitz-Nicol Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Fitz-Nicol name is an Anglo-Norman Irish surname formed from the Norman fils de Nicol — son of Nicholas — carried by families who were part of the medieval Norman settlement of Ireland and appear in the Irish record across the Pale and the wider Leinster region. Nicholas was a name common in both Norman and ecclesiastical circles in medieval Ireland, and the Fitz-Nicol families that emerge in the historical record were part of the broader Norman-Irish community whose descendants became a permanent part of Irish identity. This Irish woven blanket features the Fitz-Nicol family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan.

The Name

The Fitz-Nicol surname belongs to the same family of Norman patronymic names as FitzGerald, FitzPatrick, and FitzMaurice — all formed in the centuries after 1169 as the descendants of Norman settlers took surnames in the Irish manner. Nicholas was a venerated name in the medieval church, borne by saints and scholars, and its Norman form Nicol gave rise to this Fitz- surname in the Irish context. The families who carried Fitz-Nicol were part of the Anglo-Norman landed world of Leinster and the Pale.

How It’s Made

This blanket is woven, not printed. The Fitz-Nicol family crest and the Irish National Tartan pattern are created within the cotton yarn during the weaving process — part of the cloth structure from the beginning, not applied to its surface afterwards. The result is genuine woven texture and depth, consistent pattern on both sides of the fabric, a soft but substantial feel in the hand, and traditional fringed edges that complete the piece in keeping with its quality.
