Not sure what it all means, but the Saracens head and the arm hiding the sword are on my signet ring. Each of these symbols represents my surnames.

I found this site... http://home.btconnect.com/welby-everard/default.htm  This is all about our family and goes back to 1086  :shock: thats almost a 1000 years

Unfortunatly I dont have the written meaning to hand and I cant remember what each bit stands for.

I will be having it tattoo'd onto my back in the new year, just as soon as my sister gets around to drawing it with a bit less detail in it...

Sorry to spoil everyone's fun... :oops:

There is no such thing as a "surname" coat of arms - arms themselves are incorporal heritable property and belong only to a single individual (subject to laws of inheritance) at any one time.  If you haven't matriculated arms with Garter King of Arms (in England) or the Lord Lyon King of Arms (in Scotland) then you don't have any!  Moreover usurping or assuming arms in Scotland is illegal and there have been prosecutions even recently.

Some links if you're interested:-
