Foord Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Foord name — a variant spelling of Ford — is an English-origin surname carried by families who became part of the Irish record through the plantation and settlement periods of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, taking root in Irish counties alongside the established Gaelic and Anglo-Norman communities. Foord families appear in Irish records as part of the English and Anglo-Irish settler communities that became permanently integrated into Irish life. This Irish woven blanket features the Foord family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this name as part of their Irish ancestry.

The Name

Ford and Foord as English surnames derive from the Old English ford, meaning a river crossing — a topographic name given to families who lived near or managed a ford. In Ireland, the name was carried by settlers who came across in the plantation era and the centuries of English administration that followed, families who put down roots in the Irish counties and whose descendants became fully part of Irish society. The Foord spelling reflects the variant forms that Irish record-keeping produced across different counties and centuries.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Foord family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, part of the cloth itself rather than a surface print. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece in the appropriate manner.
