Blanes has appeared under the variations Blain, Blane, Blaine, Blaines, Blahan and others.

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: Paritur pax bello Motto Translation: Peace is obtained by war.
