About the Pritchard Family Tartan
The Pritchard name is Welsh rather than Scottish: it comes from ap Richard, "son of Richard," in the old Welsh patronymic system, the ap running together with the name to give Pritchard. Those of the name are most fittingly matched with a Welsh national tartan or a district tartan of their own country.
Wales has its own tartan tradition, including national and county setts woven in Scotland and Wales alike. This collection brings a fitting Celtic tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts for the Pritchard family.
Pritchard Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on a green and blue ground crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — the greens of the Welsh valleys and hillsides, fitting for a family of the old Welsh patronymic names.
Pritchard Heritage
For centuries the Welsh named themselves not by fixed surnames but by descent: a man was known as the son, ap, of his father, and a line might run back through many generations in a single breath. As fixed surnames took hold from the Tudor age onward, these patronymics hardened into family names — ap Richard becoming Pritchard, as ap Hywel became Powell and ap Rhys became Price.
The Pritchards became numerous across Wales and the Marches, above all in the counties of the north and east, and with the movement of people in the industrial age the name spread through Britain, including into Scotland, and on to America and Australia. Those with Celtic heritage today mark it with a Welsh or district tartan.
