Kehoe Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

The spelling Kehoe grew out of Keogh, an Irish surname with a long paper trail.

Kehoe is listed among the recognised spellings of Keogh. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Kehoe, so the heraldry linked to Keogh is a starting point, not an automatic right. Research your Kehoe family history with a full surname report and painted coat of arms.
