About the McKenna Clan Tartan
The McKenna name — also MacKenna and Kenna — comes from the Gaelic Mac Cionaoith, son of Cionaodh, a personal name of the same root as the Scottish Kenneth. It is an Irish name rather than a Scottish clan, and those who bear it wear an Irish national or County Monaghan tartan.
This collection brings a fitting Irish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old ruling family of south Ulster.
McKenna Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on deep greens with darker lines and cooler accents — the green of the Monaghan drumlins, hedged fields climbing every small hill, and the still water lying between them.
McKenna Heritage
The McKennas were lords of Truagh, the barony in the north of County Monaghan on the borders of Tyrone, and held that country through the medieval centuries. Their origins are traced to the southern Uí Néill of Meath, from whom a branch moved north into the drumlin country and made it their own.
Truagh lay on the edge of the great Ulster lordships, and the McKennas held their ground between stronger neighbours, keeping their name attached to the district to this day. After the upheavals of the seventeenth century the name spread widely, and McKennas are found throughout Ireland, Britain, America and Australia.
