The name stems from the ancient pre-Roman Iberian and Basque root \u003ci\u003eSemeno\u003c\/i\u003e, translating historically to \"little son.\" As Christian kingdoms expanded, independent branches arose across northern Spain's mountain valleys. From early ancestral roots in Navarre, Aragon, and the Basque Country, descendants migrated southward, establishing recognized lines in La Rioja, Castile, and Valencia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(6, 102, 101);\"\u003eThe symbolism of the three wolves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis historic coat of arms features a silver shield displaying three black wolves in a walking stance (\u003ci\u003epassant\u003c\/i\u003e) with red tongues (\u003ci\u003elampasado\u003c\/i\u003e). In Iberian heraldry, silver signifies peace and sincerity, while black denotes strength and constancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a mere predator, early Iberian knights revered the wolf as a symbol of the elite warrior—representing tactical cunning, vigilance, and unyielding loyalty to the clan. The classic triangular arrangement of the three wolves (\u003ci\u003ebien ordenados\u003c\/i\u003e, two above and one below) was chosen by medieval artists to naturally fit the tapered geometry of a knight's shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(6, 102, 102);\"\u003eHistorical documentation and lineage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis three-wolf emblem is among the oldest designs recorded for the name. Early medieval registries document its use among the \u003ci\u003ehidalgos\u003c\/i\u003e (nobles) of northern mountain estates, spanning from the historic territory of Jaca in Aragon to San Sebastián in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country). The blazon was later formally cataloged in master registries of Spanish nobility, including the official rolls of the \u003ci\u003eCronistas Reyes de Armas\u003c\/i\u003e and Francisco Piferrer’s 1857 \u003ci\u003eNobiliario de los Reinos y Señoríos de España\u003c\/i\u003e, permanently securing this northern warrior heritage in official heraldic archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #066666;\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality white ceramic mug with the family crest printed two sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 oz mug dimensions: 4.7″ (11.9 cm) in height, 3.3″ (8.5 cm) in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #066666;\"\u003eNo Warehouses.
