Fitz-Pearce Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Fitz-Pearce name belongs to the Norman-Irish naming tradition, formed from fils de Piers — son of Piers, the Norman form of Peter — and carried by families connected to the Anglo-Norman settlement of Ireland that began in 1169. Piers was a common given name in the Norman and Anglo-Irish world, and the Fitz-Pearce families that appear in Irish records were part of the broader community of Norman-descended Irish families whose names became permanent features of the Irish landscape. This Irish woven blanket features the Fitz-Pearce family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan.

The Name

The name Piers — the Norman form of Peter — was widely used across the Anglo-Norman settlements of Leinster and Munster, where families named Fitz-Piers or Fitz-Pearce appear in the medieval rolls and church records. The Fitz-Pearce variant reflects the later anglicisation of the Piers form, as English spelling conventions shaped the written record of Irish surnames over the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In its various forms, the name carries the same Norman-Irish heritage — rooted in the medieval settlement, grown into something distinctly Irish over generations.

How It’s Made

This is a woven blanket — the Fitz-Pearce family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the cotton textile during the weaving process, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself from the first thread, giving consistent woven depth and detail across both sides of the fabric. Premium cotton yarn provides the soft, substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges finish the piece in the appropriate manner.
