Going Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Going name in Ireland is an English-origin surname carried by families who settled in the Irish counties during the plantation and early modern period, their name a variant of the occupational surname derived from the verb to go — a name originally given to messengers, travellers, or those who went on particular business, a common feature of medieval occupational naming. Going families appear in the records of Tipperary and the surrounding Munster counties as part of the established Anglo-Irish gentry, their name found in the provincial records through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This Irish woven blanket features the Going family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

Background

The Going families of County Tipperary were part of the Anglo-Irish landed community of Munster, established in the county alongside the great Gaelic and Norman-Irish families that characterised this remarkable province. Tipperary — the county of the Butler Earls, the Gaelic O’Briens and MacCarthys in the south, and the rich Golden Vale that fed the province — was home to a diverse community of families whose descendants became the complex tapestry of modern Irish life. The Going name in Tipperary represents the English settler strand of that story.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Going family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into the textile structure during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece in the appropriate manner.
