Origin of the Name Irwin



The ancient history of the name Irwin was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. In Ireland the names Irwin and Erwin and its variants were introduced into Ulster Province by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland , especially during the seventeenth century. Most bearers of these names can be found in Ulster Province although a branch of the Irvines settled in County Roscommon where, over time, they changed their name to Irwin. Some Gaelic families of the O'hEireamhoin sept of County Offaly also anglicized their name to Irwin.
A sept or clan is a collective term describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory. Irish septs and clans that are related often belong to even larger groups, sometimes called tribes.
This sept name was initially changed to O'Hirwen.
The Irwin coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Irwin descendants.
