THE CLAN
Hanratty, an anglicized version of the ancient Gaelic name OhAnrachtaigh, is a name frequently mentioned in The Annals of the Four Masters. The original habitat was Oriel, now Counties Armagh and Louth. The Hanrattys were kings of the territory of Ui' Me'th which included much of modern County Monaghan. In later times they held the hereditary title of herenach, or territorial ruler, of church lands (termons) at Muckno, County Monaghan. A variety of records (The Spinning Wheel Index, Tithe Applotment Books, Griffith's Valuation, parish records) show Hanrattys located at Counties Armagh, Cavan, Down, Dublin, Louth, Monaghan, Meath, and Westmeath, with Armagh, Louth, and Monaghan being the chief locations.
Variants of the name are Enright, Enraughty, Hanraghty, Hanfy, Hanofy, Hanbey, Hanvey, Kenratty, O'Hanratty, O'Hanraughty, O'Hanfey, O'Hanbey, and O'Hanvey. The Hanratty coat of arms is a golden dragon on a blue background.
