About the Brown family name and coat of arms

The double-headed golden eagle on the Brown family coat of arms represents an all-seeing perspective. It signifies power, vision, authority and leadership. The black and white division on the shield (known as per pale) symbolizes peace and balance. The motto Fortiter et fideliter translates as Boldly and faithfully.

The surname Brown has Anglo-Norman origins, deriving from Old English, Old French, and sometimes Old Norse, typically referring to a person with brown hair or complexion. The earliest recorded use of this surname with the exact spelling Brown dates back to early 13th century England during King Edward I’s reign, appearing in a 1271 legal document known as the Subsidy Rolls, which were tax records. In subsequent centuries, Brown became a hereditary surname across medieval England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

All are carefully researched, drawing from the earliest available records across multiple heraldic archives. Noted for their elegance and attention to detail, these artworks make meaningful and uniquely personal gifts for any occasion with family and friends.
