We were commissioneed to creat badges of the O'Carroll Lions. These badges are offered to O'Carroll Members of Clan Cian as a Fundraiser.

The Lions are taken from the Personal Arms and Badges of Eile F.J. O'Carroll of Eile, Chief of Name and Clan Cian-Carroll. Grant of Arms and Badges 1982, by The Chief Herald of Ireland. The meaning of the Carroll Coat-of-Arms is: One Lion stands for King Cearbhall, the other Lion for His Tanist (Successor), both upholding the Magic Sword of Eile.

The Meaning of the Name Cearbhaill (Irish) or Carroll is "Victorious Warrior" and relates to the "Song of The Sword", an early 10th century poem ascribed to Dallan MacMore. It should be Noted the Forms of the Name: Cerbhall, Cearbhall, Cearbhaill or Chearbhaill are Irish. Carroll is the English Form (Anglicized). MacCarroll means the "Son of Carroll". O'Carroll means the "Grand Son of Carroll". Ui placed before the name means "O' ", and Mc or Mac before a name means "Mac". Cianacht (Keenaght) in Irish means "The Race of Cian", (Clan Cian in English). Cianachta are also Eoghanacht in descent from Eoghan Mor I, or Eugene The Great, Grandfather of Cian.
