Gaynor Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Gaynor name — Mag Fhionnbharra in Irish, anglicised as Gaynor and sometimes as MacGaynor — is a Gaelic Irish surname rooted in County Longford and the midland counties, its bearers part of the native Irish community of the Irish midlands. The name derives from the Gaelic personal name Fionnbharra, meaning fair-topped or fair-crested — a distinctive Gaelic name shared by several early Irish saints. The Gaynor families were part of the Longford and Westmeath Gaelic world, a region of midland lakes, river plains, and ancient monastic sites. This Irish woven blanket features the Gaynor family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

History & Heritage

The Mac Fionnbharra — the Gaynors — were a Gaelic family of County Longford, a midland county whose history is shaped by the ancient territory of Tethbae and the later medieval world of Norman and Gaelic families living side by side. The Longford Gaelic families, including the Gaynors, lived through the upheavals of the Tudor conquest and the Cromwellian settlement, their names and their family identities persisting through those difficult centuries. Today the Gaynor name is found across the Irish diaspora, carried by families whose roots lie in the quiet Irish midlands.

Craftsmanship

This is a woven blanket — the Gaynor family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the cotton textile during weaving, not printed onto its surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton yarn, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece correctly.
