Taaffe;

Variant Spellings; Taff, Taa.

Taaffe is a name that came to Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion. They became an important family in Co. Louth and a branch of the family became established in Co. Sligo.

In Irish the name is translated as Tath and means David in the original Welsh.

Of the Co. Louth Taaffes Rev. Dennis Taaffe (1754-1813) was a founder of the Gaelic Society and John Taaffe (1787-1862) was a poet and a friend of Byron and Shelly.

The Sligo Taaffes were admitted into the English aristocracy and were strong supporters of the Stuarts and lost much as a result. The Counts Taaffe were acknowledged as such in the Holy Roman Empire and two of them became field-marshalls in the Austrian army.

The motto of the Taaffe coat of arms is 'In Hoc Signo Spes Mea'. which is translated as 'My Hope Is In This Sign'.
