Best Answer

It is debatable whether the word 'Clan' should be used in relation to Irish families, and it is perhaps better restricted to Scots. However, there is an Irish family Ó Cuill (English, Quill) ***************************************************************** Ó Cuill is a Kerry family which was located in the barony of Dunkerron South (Iveragh peninsula) during the 14th-17th centuries. Muintir Uí Chuill would be the usual to say "the O'Quills" but you can use "clann" with Mac- surnames such as Clann Mhic Ruairí (the McRorys). "Clann" literally means "children" and is used in that sense also.

What is correct The Clan Hoyt or The Hoyt Clan?

This depends on the country and the original language of the people speaking or writing. In the US, The Hoyt Clan would be correct. For example, the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, the Inuzuka clan. However, in Scotland and Ireland, the word "Clan" comes first, as in Clan MacGregor or Clan Campbell. This is probably because the naming is based upon the Celtic language, rather than the English that most clan member speak now.
