About the Fitzsimmons Tartan
The Fitzsimmons name — also Fitzsimons and Fitzsimon — is of Anglo-Norman origin, meaning "son of Simon," from the Old French fils. Brought to Ireland in the wake of the Norman settlement, the family took deep root in Leinster and the eastern counties, and is also found in the Gaelicised form Mac Síomóin. As an Irish family rather than a Scottish clan, Fitzsimmons may wear an Irish family tartan or a tartan of their county.
This collection celebrates the Fitzsimmons name and its long Irish heritage, bringing a fitting tartan into apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts for those who carry one of the old Anglo-Irish names of Leinster.
Fitzsimmons Tartan Colours
Worn as an Irish family tartan, the collection draws on rich greens crossed with fine lines of white and gold — the warm, verdant colours long associated with Ireland and its families, fitting for an old name of the green midlands and the eastern counties.
Who Is This Collection For?
The Fitzsimmons collection is a meaningful choice for the Fitzsimmons and Fitzsimons family, those of Irish and Anglo-Norman descent, descendants of Meath, Leinster and the eastern counties, and anyone drawn to an old name of Ireland.

Fitzsimmons Family Heritage
The name is a patronymic of Norman construction, joining the Old French fils, "son," to the personal name Simon — itself from the Hebrew Shimon, "he has heard." The family came from England to Leinster in the early 14th century, settling especially in County Meath, where they held lands and grew into a family of standing among the Anglo-Irish gentry of the Pale.
Over the centuries the Fitzsimmons spread through Leinster and beyond, into Ulster and Munster, in the many forms of Fitzsimons, Fitzsimon and the Gaelic Mac Síomóin. The name is carried today across the Irish diaspora in Britain, America and Australia; among its best-known bearers was Bob Fitzsimmons, the first boxer to hold world titles at three different weights.
