About the O'Keefe Clan Tartan
The O'Keefe name — also O'Keeffe and Keefe, in Gaelic Ó Caoimh — is an old Irish name of Munster, not a Scottish clan but a Gaelic kindred of County Cork. Those of the name wear an Irish national or County Cork tartan, honouring their roots in the south.
The O'Keefes are of the Eoganacht, the royal kindred of Munster, and take their name from Caomh, whose name means "the gentle" or "the noble." This collection brings a fitting Irish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts.
O'Keefe Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on a bold ground of red and green crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — warm, generous colours fitting for a princely name of Munster and the rolling country of north Cork.
O'Keefe Heritage
The O'Keefes descend from the Eoganacht kings of Munster, and took their surname from Caomh, a descendant of Fingin, king of Munster, in the tenth century. Their first territory lay about Glanworth in the valley of the Blackwater, in what is now County Cork.
After the coming of the Anglo-Normans the family was pressed westward, and settled in Duhallow in the north-west of the county, where their country came to be called Pobble O'Keeffe, about Kanturk and the upper Blackwater. There they held their place through the long centuries of Gaelic Munster; after the confiscations many took service in the armies of Europe, and the name spread across the world.
