Hammond Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Hammond 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 derived from the Norman given name Hamund — a variant of Haimund, from a Germanic root meaning home protection — which was brought to England by the Normans and carried on to Ireland by subsequent settlers. Hammond families appear in the records of Leinster and Ulster as part of the English settler community, their descendants becoming integrated into Irish life across the generations. This Irish woven blanket features the Hammond family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan.

Background

The Hammond families of Ireland were part of the broader English and Anglo-Irish settler presence in the island’s counties, particularly in the planted provinces of Ulster and the Pale counties of Leinster. In various Irish counties, Hammond families appear in the records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as farmers, merchants, and local figures who became part of the communities in which they settled. Over generations, their descendants became thoroughly part of Irish society, their English-origin name carried alongside those of their Gaelic and Norman-Irish neighbours.

Craftsmanship

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