What is the origin of the McCoy coats of arms?

The McCoy coats of arms originate from the Gaelic surname "Mac Aoidh," meaning "son of Aodh," which translates to "fire." The arms are associated with various branches of the McCoy family, particularly in Ireland and Scotland. Historically, coats of arms were granted to families as symbols of nobility and lineage, often reflecting the family's achievements, status, or geographical origins. The specific designs and symbols in a McCoy coat of arms can vary, representing different clans or family branches.
