Before that, words and names were spelled according to sound, and, therefore, often appeared under several different spelling variations in a single document. Kendall has been spelled Kendall, Kendal, Kendel, Kendell, Kendale and others.First found in Westmorland, where they held a family seat in the ancient barony of Kendall from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Learn all about the different symbols of your Coat of Arms with our deluxe symbolism. This product will explain the full meaning of you Coat of Arms including motto translations.
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: Virtus depressa resurget
Motto Translation: Virtue, though depressed, shall rise again.
