Here’s a proper gift for anyone called Quin who enjoys a beer! The Quin Family Crest on a sturdy 16oz pint glass. Beautifully illustrated. Carefully researched. Uniquely personal.
Symbolism of the Quin Crest
The Quin coat of arms displayed here features a distinctive green shield adorned with a silver pegasus and a gold chief, complemented by a wolf’s head crest. In heraldic tradition, the pegasus symbolizes honour, aspiration, and swiftness, while the wolf’s head represents vigilance and strength. The gold chief further conveys generosity and high status. This particular design, granted on 29 November 1688, is linked to a documented Quin lineage associated with Thady Quin of Adare in County Limerick. It remains a prominent emblem in subsequent Irish heraldic usage connected to that family branch.
Origin of the Quin name
The surname Quin is the anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic name Ó Cuinn, which means “descendant of Conn.” This name appears across several Irish family branches, with notable historical ties to County Clare and later expansions in other regions of Ireland. The coat of arms presented here corresponds to later recorded Quin families, including those from Adare in County Limerick and Quinsborough in County Clare.
