  > Dear clansmen and women!I > > I have an old cutting from a magazine called 'Ireland's Own' which did a > series on surnames. The article for the McCann name was by a D.O.Hairt. It > reads:- > > The McCann shield has a gold/yellow fretwork on a blue background. The > central band or fess is in white with a wild boar in red. The salmon over > the crest is depicted in natural colours. The Latin motto "Crescit sub > pondere virtus' means "Virtue thrives under oppression". This idea may be > symbolically interpreted from the shield. Blue, the colour representing > loyalty and truth, and the colour of the Virgin Mary -"font of all virtue", > shines clearly through the binding fretwork which represents "oppression". > The fess occupies the central and most important part of the shield and the > wild boar was the symbol of a fearless warrior and is very widely used in > Irish & Scottish heraldry. The use of the fish (salmon) in the coat of arms > was borrowed from the early Christian church in which a fish was often used > as one of the symbols of Christ. Of course, the salmon has a special meaning > in Irish Mythology- that of learning from the story of Finn MacCumhaill and > the salmon of knowledge. It can also be mentioned that the McCanns were the > Lords of Clanbrassil a district on the shores of Lough Neagh which would make > the salmon even more appropriate as an emblem. > > Rgds Tony McCann
