The Aherne Coat Of Arms Story

Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the Aherne family history parchment:

The earliest Gaelic Root of this is O h’Eachthighearna which means ‘horse lord.’ The prefix 'O’ meaning 'son’ was often added to a father's name of occupation to form a permanent surname for the sept, but in this case it was dropped from later variants, such as Ahern, and the anglicised Hearn, during the Gaelic suppression period. The family originally came from the ancient kingdom of Thomond, more specifically from the fertile, undulating area which is now called Sixmilebridge in the County of Clare. From the fourteenth century onwards, the clan began to drift south Alan of Nathern who was Bishop of Kerry from 1336 to 1347 was an early migrant. In the census of 1658 bearers of the name were found to be widespread throughout the counties of Cork and Waterford, though some of those in Waterford may have been of English extraction. Among this family's famous ancestors is one Giellananemh O’Huidrin who died in 1420, and whose interest in the savage and mysterious Irish landscape led him to complete O'Dugan's highly acclaimed 'Topographical Poem.’ More Recently there was John Ahern who wrote the first book on Architecture to be printed in Ireland in 1754. His namesake in a succeeding generation joined the flock of ‘wild geese'- as Irish exiles who sold their bravery to continental armies were known and died fighting for Napoleon in 1806 at the age of 37.
