Provenance
Earliest known date: 2009 About a year and a half ago Peter Hanly started looking into Hanly history and traditions and became quite interested in finding a tartan common to Hanlys. Hanly, from the Gaelic O'hAinle, has its roots in Ireland, and did not have a family tartan. Coming from Canada, and having no real connection to County Roscommon, Ireland (where the name Hanly originates) I decided to create a family tartan. The colours are based on the Hanly family coat of arms, a green shield with a silver boar passant between two silver arrows barways, the hooves, mane and arrowheads being of gold. Having had my grandfather, father and myself serve in the military (British Army, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Airforce respectively), I have a strong connection to the military and thus tried to incorporate the thin green stripe design from the RCAF tartan.

Designed by Peter Hanly of Kingston Ontario. The surname Hanly is from the Gaelic O'hAinle and has its roots in Ireland. Coming from Canada, and thus having no real connection to County Roscommon, Ireland (the area of Ireland where the name Hanly originates) Peter Hanly decided to create a family tartan with colours based on the Hanly family coat of arms which is a green shield with a silver boar passant, between two silver arrows barways, the hooves, mane and arrowheads being of gold. Three generations of the family served in the military (British Army, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Airforce ) and the designer incorporated the thin green stripe from RCAF tartan. - 2009 — Hanly Name Tartan (house-of-tartan, record)
