Quote:Escusz-moi. The family crest pictured is not just a shield with symbols. Look close to the photo. It has a banner under it with a name. Once a name is placed under the crest, it becomes the crest associated with that name. Again, you make an argument without all the facts.Words on a crest are not always names. The can also be what they are or a saying. example "sola virtus invicta" which means Courage alone is invincible. Yes many do have a surname but not all of them do. Again you are assuming Blutdaden is a name and not a title. They can also denote the name of the clan.
The reason for the crest would be they are proud of being blutbaden. Remember a crest is to denote loyalty and pride. That is why coat of arms contain a crest.
