The name Clement has a rich and ancient history. It is thought to date from Anglo-Saxon times in Britain as a personal name, becoming a patronymic surname meaning "the son of Clement." The name is of Latin origin, meaning "mild or merciful." It gained popularity in Medieval Europe when it was borne by an early saint who was a disciple of St. Paul, and later when the name was used by several early popes. Historically the surname was used by the Saxons as they converted to Christianity.

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: Patriis virtutibus
Motto Translation: By hereditary virtues.
