Mackey Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Mackey name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — Mac Aodha in Irish, son of Aodh — found principally in County Monaghan and the south Ulster counties, the family part of the native Irish community of the province. The Mac Aodha/Mackey families were part of the Gaelic world of Ulster, and the name is also found in Munster and other provinces in various anglicised forms. This Irish woven blanket features the Mackey family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep Ulster and Munster Gaelic roots.

History & Heritage

In County Monaghan — the heartland of the MacMahon dynasty — the Mackey families were part of the native Gaelic Irish community that maintained its identity through the upheavals of the Ulster Plantation and the subsequent centuries of change. The name also appears in Munster, where branches of the Mac Aodha family took slightly different anglicised forms depending on the county and period. Today Mackey is found across Ireland and through the diaspora, always connected to the ancient Gaelic name Aodh that gave it its origin.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from 100% premium cotton yarn — the Mackey family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece correctly.
