Quinn Family Crest beer glass - Limerick origin

Here’s a proper gift for anyone called Quinn who enjoys a beer! The Quinn Family Crest on a sturdy 16oz pint glass. Beautifully illustrated. Carefully researched. Uniquely personal.

Symbolism of the Quinn Crest

The Quinn coat of arms featured here showcases a vibrant green shield adorned with a silver pegasus and highlighted by a gold chief, complemented by a distinctive wolf’s head crest. In heraldic tradition, the pegasus symbolizes honour, aspiration, and swiftness, while the wolf’s head denotes vigilance and strength. The gold chief conveys generosity and high standing, hallmarks of noble lineage. This particular version, granted 29 November 1688, is linked to a documented Quinn family line descending from Thady Quinn of Adare in County Limerick, and is recognized in Irish heraldic records associated with that family branch.

Origin of the Quinn name

The surname Quinn is the anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic name Ó Cuinn, meaning “descendant of Conn.” It appears across several Irish family branches, with deep historical roots particularly in County Clare, and later in other regions of Ireland. This coat of arms design is associated with later recorded Quinn families, including those connected to Adare in County Limerick and Quinsborough in County Clare.
