About the O'Meehan Family Tartan
The O'Meehan name — also Meehan and Meighan, in Gaelic Ó Miadhacháin — comes from a word meaning "honourable" or "of good repute." It is an Irish name rather than a Scottish clan, found above all in Leitrim, Sligo and Clare, and those of the name wear an Irish national or county tartan.
The same old Gaelic root travelled to Scotland, where it gave the Galloway name McMeeken. This collection brings a fitting Irish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts.
O'Meehan Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on a cool ground of teal and green crossed with black and lifted by a soft line — the colours of lake water and hillside, fitting for a family of the lough country of the Irish north-west.
O'Meehan Heritage
The O'Meehans are recorded from early times in the north-west of Ireland, in the country about Lough Melvin on the borders of Leitrim, Fermanagh and Donegal, where the townland of Ballaghameehan still carries the name. A learned and ecclesiastical family, they were long associated with the service of the church in that district.
Other families of the name are found in County Clare and in the south, so that the O'Meehans belong to more than one part of Ireland. With the great emigrations the name spread to Britain, America and Australia, carried by families proud of their Irish roots.
