Looked under the name O’Farrell on internet
The Farrells of Annaly
Clan Coat of Arms
The Farrell Coat of Arms and Crest is distinguished by a Golden Lion rampant, which signifies Bravery, Nobility, Glory, Strength and Courage on a green field, which signifies Hope, Joy and Love.
The golden colour denotes generosity and elevation of mind.
The crest is a ducal coronet with an unleashed hound – ‘Cú reubha’ – which translates to as The Hound Unleashed, symbolising that we have broken our hold from all oppressors.
In Irish folklore, Gaelic poetry and mythology the hound is often used as an epithet to describe a valiant warrior.
A famous example of such a warrior in Irish Mythology is the Hound of Cullen – more famously known as ‘Cú Chulainn‘ who legend tells us fell victim to the powerful ‘Queen Medbh’ – Ancestral Queen of The Farrell Clan.
