Trant Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Kerry Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Trant name in Ireland carries a Norman-Irish heritage anchored in County Kerry — a family that became deeply embedded in the culture and landscape of the south-west over many centuries. This woven blanket honours that heritage through the Trant family crest and the Irish National Tartan.

The Trant Name

From the Norman-French de Trant — possibly from a place name in Normandy — the Trant family came to Ireland with the Anglo-Norman settlement and established themselves in County Kerry, where they became one of the families of the Munster Geraldine orbit. The Trants appear in the records of Kerry from the medieval period, their name associated with Dingle and the wider west Kerry region. They were part of the Old English Catholic community of Munster, maintaining their faith through the plantation and penal eras, and several Trant family members are recorded as supporters of the Jacobite cause in the late seventeenth century. The name endures today in Kerry, a quiet but distinctive marker of one of the county’s oldest-established Norman-Irish families.

Woven Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven on a loom, not printed. The Trant crest and Irish tartan design are integral to the textile — formed within every thread rather than applied to the surface. Premium cotton yarn and traditional fringed edges complete the heirloom-quality finish.
