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) represents peace and balance. The motto Fortiter et fideliter translates as Boldly and faithfully.

The surname Brown has Anglo-Norman origins originating from Old English, Old French, and sometimes Old Norse, typically referring to someone with brown hair or complexion. The first recorded use of this surname with the exact spelling Brown dates back to the early 13th century England during the reign of King Edward I, when in 1271 it appears in a legal document called the Subsidy Rolls, which were used for tax purposes. In the subsecquent centuries Brown became a hereditary surname in medieval England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
