About the Pierce Family Tartan
The Pierce name — also Pearce, Pearse and Piers — comes from Piers, the Norman French form of Peter, which was among the commonest personal names of medieval Britain. From it came a whole family of surnames, including Pearson and Pierson.
As a family name rather than a Scottish clan, Pierce is most fittingly matched with a district or Irish tartan, according to where a family's own roots lie. This collection brings a fitting tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
Pierce Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on deep blues and greens with darker lines — sober, dignified colours that pair easily and suit a name found on both sides of the Irish Sea.
Pierce Heritage
Piers came into Britain with the Normans and was quickly taken up: in medieval records it appears as often as Peter itself, and it left its mark on the surnames of every part of these islands. In Wales, ap Piers gave forms such as Pearce, and in Cornwall and the west the name is common in its own right.
In Ireland the name belongs to the Norman families who settled from the twelfth century and became, in the old phrase, more Irish than the Irish themselves; Pierse and Pierce families are found particularly in Kerry and the south-west. With emigration the name travelled to America, Australia and beyond.
