MacCabe Family Crest
Origin of the Name MacCabe
The origin of the name MacCabe was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. The McCabes arrived into Ireland from the Western Isles of Scotland about the year 1350 as gallowglasses to the O'Reillys and the O'Rourkes, the principal septs of Breffney in Ireland . They became a recognised sept in Breffney, their chief being 'Constable of the two Breffneys'.
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.
They were associated with County Monaghan and County Cavan but lost their estates after the Battle of Aughrim in 1691. In the eighteenth century Cathoir MacCabe, 1740, is best remembered as the life-long friend of Turlogh O'Carolan whose death is commemorated in a fine elegy in Irish . In modern times the McCabes are still more numerous in the Breffney area than anywhere else.
The MacCabe 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 MacCabe descendants.
