The Kirby families were part of the Gaelic world of Cork, a county whose vast landscape stretches from the city through the Blackwater valley, the Lee valley, and on to the wild coastlines of the south-west. This Irish woven blanket features the O'Kirby family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a Cork and Munster heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kirby families of County Cork were part of the Gaelic Irish community of Munster, their name appearing in the records of the county through the medieval and early modern periods. The name is also found in County Limerick and the broader Munster region, and the O'Kirby\/Kirby surname spread through the diaspora in the centuries of Irish emigration wherever Cork and Munster families settled. The ancient personal name Cairbre — from which the surname derives — was borne by several early Irish kings and mythological figures, giving the name a resonance that reaches deep into the pre-Christian Irish world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the O'Kirby family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface.
