This coat-of-arms is a re-creation of TopazOwl's paternal line coat-of-arms, one of the simplest and therefore one of the oldest in Ireland. The name, rendered in Old Irish as MagFhionghaile, means "son/descendant of the tribe of fair valour." TopazOwl's paternal family originates from Donegal. |
| This coat-of-arms is a re-creation of the coat-of-arms of TopazOwl's maternal line. The Gaelic name is Ó Cionnaoith, which literally signifies "descendant of Cionnaoith," the personal name from the expression "cionnaoith," meaning "fire- sprung." The Ó Cionnaoith sept had its homeland in the western counties of Galway and Roscommon, and belonged to what is known as the the Ui Maine tribe, which claimed descent from Maine More, King of Ireland in the fifth century. The family motto is: "Truth is always great." |  |
