The Farrell Coat of Arms and Crest is distinguished by a rampant Golden Lion, which signifies bravery, nobility, glory, strength, and courage on a green field, representing hope, joy, and love. The golden color denotes generosity and elevation of mind. The crest is a ducal coronet with an unleashed hound — Cú reubha — meaning ”The hound is free.” In Irish folklore, Gaelic poetry, and mythology, the hound is often used as an epithet to describe a brave warrior. A famous example of such a warrior in Irish Mythology is the Hound of Cullen — more famously known as Cú Chulainn, who legend tells us fell victim to the powerful Queen Maedhbh — Ancestral Queen of The Farrell Clan.
