This motto is, according to one of my cousins who visited Ireland, the motto of the McInaney/McEneany family of Ireland. The name in Irish has two forms: Mac an Dhéaghanaigh (son of the dean) and Mac Conaonaigh (hound of the fair). He translated the motto to be "in the cross is my hope."
The family was a sept of Oriel, Oriel being the ancient territory covering what are now counties of Armagh, Monaghan, Louth and Down.
