This article is about the surname. For a list of people with this surname, see List of people with surname Lynch. The Lynch Coat of Arms. Lynch is a surname of Irish origin. In Gaelic terms, its original form was Ó Loingsigh; there were at least three unrelated families of this name in Gaelic Ireland, located in what is now County Clare, Cork and south-east Ulster. Its English roots lie in the word Linch, a placename, often rendered as de Linch or de Lynch in Ireland. Lynch was one of the 14 Tribes of Galway. [edit] Coat of armsTraditionally, English heraldry limited the use of heraldic symbols and devices to a single individual, whereas in Ireland the Coat of arms was used by the whole extended 'family', although most Irish didn't really see the need for elaborate heraldry so it wasn't actively displayed. Most Irish coats of arms date back to well before English times. Originally each 'clan' would have their colours (for the Lynch's this was blue (azure) and yellow/gold), then it became 'fashionable' to adopt a motif that was significant to the clan. Blazon: Azure a chevron between three trefoils slipt or. Crest: A lynx passant azure collared or. [edit] Family mottoSemper Fidelis which is a Latin phrase meaning 'always faithful'.
