Gannon Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Gannon name — Mag Fhionnain in Irish, from fionn, meaning fair or bright — is a Gaelic Irish surname rooted in County Mayo and the broader Connacht region, its bearers part of the native Irish community of the west. The Gannons were a family of the Mayo Gaelic world, a county shaped by the O'Malley, Burke, and MacWilliam dynasties and by the extraordinary landscape of mountains, Atlantic coast, and ancient bogs that defines it. This Irish woven blanket features the Gannon family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this distinctive Connacht name.

The Name

County Mayo — Maigh Eo, the plain of the yew trees — is one of Ireland's most dramatically beautiful counties, and one of its most distinctively Gaelic. The Gannon families were part of the native Irish population of Mayo and Roscommon, their name appearing in the records of the west of Ireland through the medieval and early modern periods. Like many of the Connacht Gaelic families, the Gannons lived through the upheavals of the Connacht Plantation and the Cromwellian settlement, maintaining their name and their identity through those difficult centuries and into the present.

Craftsmanship

This is a woven blanket — the Gannon family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the cotton textile during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth from the beginning, giving consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton yarn, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece correctly.
