Quin Family Crest Rocks Glass - Limerick origin

Here’s a proper gift for any Quin who enjoys a drop of the pure stuff! The Quin Family Crest on a classic whiskey glass. Beautifully illustrated. Carefully researched. Uniquely personal.

Symbolism of the Quin coat of arms

The Quin coat of arms displayed here features a vibrant 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 adds classic heraldic meaning, indicating generosity and high social standing. This particular design, granted 29 November 1688, is linked to a documented Quin lineage associated with Thady Quin of Adare in County Limerick, and appears in later Irish heraldry related to this family branch.

Origin of the Quin name

The name Quin is the anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic Ó Cuinn, which means “descendant of Conn.” The surname appears across several Irish family branches, with deep historical roots in County Clare and later in other regions of Ireland. This version of the coat of arms is associated with documented Quin families, including those from Adare in County Limerick and Quinsborough in County Clare.
