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

The O'Hurley name is a Gaelic Irish surname with a strong presence in County Limerick and the Munster counties, the family lords of Muintear Iffernain in the Limerick region — a territory that placed them at the centre of the Thomond and Munster Gaelic world. O'hÚirtílé in Irish, the Hurley name carries its Gaelic origin into a form that is today one of the most recognisable Munster surnames. This Irish woven blanket features the O'Hurley family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a Limerick and Munster heritage.

History & Heritage

The O'Hurley family of Limerick held their territory in the barony of Coonagh, and they appear in the medieval records of Thomond as a family of local standing within the O'Brien world. The name spread widely across Munster over the centuries, and Hurley today is one of the most common surnames in Cork, Limerick, and Clare, carried across the south of Ireland and through the diaspora wherever Munster families emigrated. Archbishop Dermot O'Hurley of Cashel, who was martyred in 1584 for his Catholic faith and who was beatified in 1992, was among the most distinguished bearers of this name — his story one of the most dramatic chapters of the Elizabethan period in Ireland.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the O'Hurley family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into 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 from the premium cotton, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece as a genuinely woven heritage item.
