Murphy

Are you a Murphy? We’ve got a tartan for you.

The green, white and orange of the Sport Kilt Murphy tartan can only mean one thing: a celebration of the history and heritage of this most Irish family name. In fact, Murphy is the most common surname in all of Ireland and Murphys around the world have wielded their influence on screen, on the field and in government.

The name Murphy originates from the old Gaelic MacMurchadh or O’Murchadh, translated as “Sea Warrior”.  The warrior Murchadh himself is a legendary figure in Irish lore, having fought off Danish invaders with the fighting spirit of a “bird of valour”.  Be brave like your ancient ancestors in the Murphy tartan, also known as the Tara tartan.
