Foy Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Foy name in Ireland derives from the Gaelic O'Fie — O'Fiaich in some forms — a surname found principally in County Armagh and the Ulster counties, the bearers of this name part of the Gaelic Irish community of the province. The name also appears in some branches as an anglicised form of other Gaelic names, reflecting the varied paths by which Irish surnames arrived at their modern English forms. Foy is a name of the Gaelic Ulster world, carried through generations of Irish life in the northern counties and spread through the diaspora in the centuries of emigration. This Irish woven blanket features the Foy family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan.

The Name

County Armagh — the county of Saint Patrick's cathedral city, one of the holiest places in Irish Christianity — was the heartland of the O'Fie and Foy families. Armagh sits at the centre of Ulster, a county that was among the most deeply Gaelic in all of Ireland and that maintained its Gaelic culture and language longer than most parts of the island. The Foy families of Armagh were part of this world, their name part of the dense network of Gaelic Irish surnames that characterised Ulster life through the medieval and early modern periods.
