What is Heraldry
Heraldry is the science of the coat of arms that is responsible for studying the coats of arms of each lineage, names and the origins of surnames. Medieval Spanish heraldry is the basic guide to starting heraldic study.
The coat of arms and surname shield is the emblem where a family or lineage is represented through its surnames. You could say that it is like a medieval ID. It was the only coherent way at that time to distinguish feudal lords.
Heraldry emerged in the Middle Ages with feudal societies and has its origins in the armor of knights of the early Middle Ages.
Availability of Names and Surnames
We have to be clear that the heraldic shields are from the surname of the branch of a single family. Knowing if a surname has a meaning or shield or if it comes from a specific branch is a complex task to study and demonstrate. In most cases it is impossible to get to the root of the origin of the surname.
Not all surnames have a heraldic shield. The first thing you have to know is if we have in our database the names or surnames that you are interested in engraving on any of the products we manufacture.
