Heraldry
The three black eagle heads (erased) on the silver shield represent courage, strength, and vigilance — virtues prized by the medieval English families from whom the name descends.
The silver background of the shield signifies peace, sincerity, and nobility of spirit. In heraldry, argent is one of the two primary metals, reserved for families of distinction.
The flowing crimson and silver mantling around the helmet was originally a cloth worn by knights to deflect the sun. Its rich red color echoes valor and military honor.
