This formal recognition ensured its inclusion in Burke’s General Armory and the records of the Ulster King of Arms. The heraldry of the Murray of Castle Murray branch represents a notable adaptation of the ancient Moray arms, specifically tailored for the Irish lineage. The Azure (blue) shield symbolizes loyalty and truth, adorned with three gold stars (mullets) that signify divine radiance and noble status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe griffin is a mythical creature combining the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle. This emblem conveys vigilance, courage, and dual mastery over both land and air. It serves as a distinctive “difference” from the traditional Scottish mermaid, marking this specific Donegal branch. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBeneath the shield is the Latin motto \"Impero,\" meaning \"I command,\" reflecting the family’s historical authority in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(6, 102, 102);\"\u003eThe Origin of the Murray name\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Murray name originates from the Scottish province of Moray, deriving from the Old Celtic words mori (sea) and treb (settlement). The Donegal branch was established during the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century. This lineage descends from the Murrays of Broughton and was specifically founded when John Murray of Cockpool received lands in the barony of Boylagh and Banagh around 1610. The family rebuilt the site of McSwyne’s Castle, transforming it into the imposing Castle Murray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(6, 102, 102);\"\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach coat of arms in the Family Crests Store is an artwork by heraldic artist Éamonn Breathnach.
