Where did the English Dankert family come from? What is the English Dankert family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dankert family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dankert family history? The surname Dankert was a baptismal name meaning "the son of Daniel." It was originally formed by the addition of the suffix "kin" onto the pet name Dan, to create Dankin. As was typically with this type of name, the suffix "kin" was shortened over time into "kys" and "ks." Thus, Dankin often became Dankys or Danks.Spelling variations of this family name include: Dankin, Dankyn, Dankins, Dankys, Danks, Danke, Dankes, Denk, Denke and many more. First found in Gloucestershire, when Gunnild Danekin was documented during the reigns of Henry III and Edward I. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Dankert research. Another 264 words(19 lines of text) covering the years 1327, 1401, 1424, 1501, 1551, 1572, and 1674 are included under the topic Early Dankert History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Dankert Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Walter Danks, who settled in Virginia in 1655; Mary Danks, who was sent to America as a bonded passenger in 1746; Abel and Robert Danks, who immigrated to Boston in 1765. 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: Pro fide et patria Motto Translation: For our faith and country.
The Dankert Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Dankert Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 23 September 2010 at 15:36. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
