The ancestors of the surname Lawder were thought to have been a Boernician family in ancient Scotland. They lived in Berwickshire, where they took their name from the lands of Lauder, first granted to them by King Malcolm Ceanmore about 1057 AD.Before the first dictionaries and printing presses went into use in the last few hundred years, spelling, particularly of names, was a largely intuitive matter. Consequently, many spelling variations occur in even the simplest names from the Middle Ages. Lawder has been spelled Lauder, Laudor, Lawder, Lawther, Leather, Lauther and others. First found in Berwickshire, where Robert Lauder was the first Chief of the Clan.

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.
