Heartily wielding the mighty family motto of "For My Country!" through what would be for many the deadly sands of time, the proud and noble Irish surname of Higgins rises vistoriously through history from County Sligo, where they held a family seat from the most ancient of times. Descended from a grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages, the 4th century High King of Ireland and founder of the Ui Neill Clan, the surname was first rendered in the Gaelic language as "O huigin", which derives from the word "uiging", akin to the Norse word "viking".
