Where did the Irish O'Brion family come from? What is the Irish O'Brion family crest and coat of arms? When did the O'Brion family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the O'Brion family history? The old Gaelic name used by the O'Brion family in Ireland was O Briain, which means descendant of Brian. The recording of names in Ireland in the Middle Ages was an inconsistent endeavor at best. The standardized literary languages of today were not yet reached the general citizenry. Research into the name O'Brion revealed spelling variations, including O'Brien, OBrine, O'Brion, O'Bryan, O'Bryen, McBrien, McBrine, Brian, Briand, Briant, Brine, Brines, Briens and many more. First found in County Clare. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our O'Brion research.

Irish families fled the English-colonized Ireland in record numbers during the 19th century for North America. Many of those destitute families died from disease during, and even shortly after, the long journey. Although those that immigrated before the Great Potato Famine of the 1840s often were granted a tract of land, those that arrived later were generally accommodated in urban centers or in work camps. Those in the urban centers would labor in the manufacturing sector, whereas those in work camps would to build critical infrastructures such as bridges, canals, roads, and railways. Regardless of when these Irish immigrants came to North America, they were critical for the rapid development of the young nations of the United States and Canada. Early immigration and passenger lists have recorded many early immigrants bearing the name of O'Brion: Archibald O'Brian settled in Virginia in 1773. 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: Lamh laidir an Uachtar Motto Translation: The strong hand from above.
The O'Brion Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The O'Brion Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons.
