Origins Available: English, Scottish Where did the Scottish Coran family come from? What is the Scottish Coran family crest and coat of arms? When did the Coran family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Coran family history? The chronicles of the Coran family show that the name was first used in the Scottish/English Borderlands by the Strathclyde- Britons. It was a name for a person who lived in the Scottish-English border region. The Coran family lived in Ayrshire.The origin of rules governing the spelling of names and even words is a very recent innovation. Before that, words and names were spelled according to sound, and, therefore, often appeared under several different spelling variations in a single document. Coran has been spelled Cowan, Cowans, Cowen, Cowens, MacCowan, MacCowden and many more. First found in Ayrshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Coran research. Another 185 words(13 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Coran History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Coran Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the Coran family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 265 words(19 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products. The persecution faced in their homeland left many Scots with little to do but sail for the colonies of North America. There they found land, freedom, opportunity, and nations in the making. They fought for their freedom in the American War of Independence, or traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In both cases, they made enormous contributions to the formation of those great nations. Among them: Barbara Cowan who settled in New Jersey in 1685; along with Marjorie; Andrew Cowan settled in South Carolina in 1772; Alexander Cowan settled in New York City in 1774. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Sic itur in altum Motto Translation: This is the way to heaven.
The Coran Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Coran Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:29. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
