Hanly Irish Woven Blanket | O'Hanly Family Crest Tartan Throw

The O'Hanly name is a Gaelic Irish surname rooted in County Roscommon and the broader Connacht region, the family part of the native Irish community of the west. O'hÁinle in Irish — from a personal name connected to the Gaelic word for beauty or swiftness — the Hanly families were lords of Fo Chlair, a territory in the Roscommon and Leitrim borderlands, part of the Gaelic political world of Connacht through the medieval period. This Irish woven blanket features the O'Hanly family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a proud Connacht heritage.

History & Heritage

The O'Hanlys were lords of Fo Chlair — a territory in south Roscommon and north Leitrim, part of the complex patchwork of Gaelic lordships that made up the province of Connacht in the medieval period. Like many of the Connacht Gaelic families, the O'Hanlys maintained their territorial identity and family name through the upheavals of the Tudor conquest and the Connacht Plantation, their name enduring in the Roscommon and Leitrim region and spreading through the diaspora in the centuries of Irish emigration. Today Hanly and Hanley are found wherever Connacht families settled.

How It’s Made

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the O'Hanly family crest and the Irish National Tartan formed within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to 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 correct manner.
