Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Alen family history? While the majority of the bearers of Alen in Ireland are of English or Scottish origins, there were indigenous Irish bearers of Alen, who derived their name from the Gaelic "O hAilin."Spelling variations of this family name include: MacEllin, Hallion, Alen, MacAilin, MacEllen and many more. First found in Ulster. Probably one of the best known early representatives of the family was John Allen (Alen) (1476-1534), Archbishop of Dublin whose early "Register" is still known as a very valuable source of medieval life in Ireland. He became Lord Chancellor but was assassinated by Lord Thomas FitzGerald's followers. At this time there was also another group located on the borders of Mayo and Roscommon.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Virtus auro praeferenda Motto Translation: Virtue is to be preferred to gold.
The Alen Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Alen Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 4 March 2004 at 10:50. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
