First found in on the Isle of Arran, where they held a family seat from early times. The family name Cabe first appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

The hardy Scots who made the crossing settled all along the east coast of North America and in the great west that was just then opening up. At the time of the American War of Independence, many United Empire Loyalists moved north from the American colonies to Canada. Scottish national heritage became better known in North America in the 20th century through highland games and other patriotic events. An examination of immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Cabe arrived in North America very early:

Cabe Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • John Cabe, who landed in Virginia in 1704

Cabe Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Pedro Cabe, who arrived in New Orleans, La in 1823

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: Aut Vincere Aut Mori
Motto Translation: Either to conquer or die.
