Where did the Scottish Black family come from? What is the Scottish Black family crest and coat of arms? When did the Black family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Black family history?
The annals of the ancient Scottish bards frequently refer to the surname Black and it springs from three separate and distinct sources. In examining the ancient origins, historians are undecided whether the name Black derives from the Old English Blaecor Blac. The former means black the color, but the later means the opposite, that is, pale or bright. However, it is concluded that it is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and one of the first references to the family Black is when Blaecca was a prefect of the city of Lincoln, England in 628 and he and his family were recorded as being converted to Christianity by Paulinus, a missionary.

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: Non crux sed lux
Motto Translation: Not the cross, but the light.
