Originally anglicized as O'Naghten or Naughton, the surname derives from a Gaelic word meaning bright or pure. The clan was historically based across modern-day Counties Galway and Roscommon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, under pressure from English administrative rule, various branches of the clan phonetically adapted their traditional name to Norton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe imagery displayed on this shield conveys deep ancestral meaning through traditional heraldic symbols. The three falcons represent leadership, and a pursuit of one's objectives, while the crossed swords signify justice, military fortitude, and an unwavering readiness to defend the homeland. These symbols are set against a rich color palette where the green denotes hope, joy, and deep loyalty to the land, and the vibrant red embodies warrior courage and historic sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis Norton coat of arms was officially recorded by the office of the Ulster King of Arms based at Dublin Castle (now archived at the National Library of Ireland). \u003cem\u003eAnother Norton family crest of English origin is also available on this website.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eNotable Historical Figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe legacy of the Irish Nortons is preserved through influential historical figures such as Seán Ó Neachtain, a premier seventeenth-century Irish-language poet and scholar from County Roscommon whose extensive literary works played a vital role in safeguarding traditional Gaelic culture. Another remarkable figure is George Frederick O'Naghten, a Dublin-born cavalry officer who fought with legendary bravery in the Napoleonic Wars, surviving dozens of battle wounds and becoming one of the first Irishmen appointed as an officer of the French Légion d'Honneur. For families whose ancestry stems from the West of Ireland, Galway, Roscommon, or early Gaelic clans, this quarterly shield represents their true historical lineage. And then there’s Graham Norton from the telly who keeps us all entertained and smiling.\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.
