About the Terry Family Tartan
The Terry name comes from the Norman personal name Thierry, itself from the old Germanic Theodoric, meaning "ruler of the people". Brought to Britain after the Conquest, it took root in England and in Ireland, above all in County Cork, where the Terrys were one of the old Norman families of the city.
As a family name rather than a Scottish clan, Terry is most fittingly matched with a district or universal tartan — a sett open to all, worn as a mark of affection for Scotland or of wider Celtic heritage.
Terry Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on a cool ground of teal and green crossed with black and lifted by a soft line — dignified, understated colours that suit a universal tartan and pair easily with everyday dress.
Terry Heritage
Names of Norman origin spread through Britain and Ireland in the centuries after the Conquest, carried by families who settled among the local people and in time became part of them. Thierry, in its many forms — Terry, Terrey, Tirry — was one of these, recorded from the medieval period onward.
In Ireland the Terrys became firmly established in Cork, where they were merchants and civic figures of the old city, reckoned among the families who grew, in the phrase of the time, more Irish than the Irish themselves. From Britain and Ireland the name spread with the great migrations across the world.
