Griffin Coat of Arms, Family Crest and Griffin Family History


Griffin Family History


The majority of descendants who bear this name descend not only from Welsh setlers who arrived into the country in the seventeenth century but also from the native Gaelic O'Griobtha Sept. Ballygriffin in County Kerry was the home of one of the Septs while others were located in Counties Limerick and Clare.

A Sept is an ancient Clan-like collective describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory.
