Hinchey Coat of Arms
This is the Hinchey Family coat of arms and some information on how the name came about, names derived from Hinchey and the Hinchey motto... The Name Henchy is the anglicised version of the Gaelic name O Aonghusa (roughly pronounced O-Ay-nush) and is preferred by descendants of that sept in Co Clare to the commoner form Hennessy. It is also rendered as Mac Aonghusa. Some of the names derived from Hinchey include; McEnnis, MacInnes, MacInch, MacNish, Ennis, Innes and Hinchey. The root name is composed of two Gaelic words, aon (one) guish (choice). Being of Gaelic origin it is also prevalent in Scotland where it is generally anglicized Angus. Aonghus was the Irish God of Love! The Family Motto is "Vi Vivo Et Armis" which roughly means "To Live By Force and By Arms".
