One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Est has appeared include East, Easte, Est, Eyst, Eyste and others.

First found in Essex where they held a family seat from very early times in the town of Colchester.

At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Est arrived in North America very early:

Est Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • Joane Est, who arrived in Virginia in 1664

Est Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • Christian Est, who landed in Pennsylvania in 1737

Est Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • J Est, who landed in San Francisco, California in 1851

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: J'avance
Motto Translation: I advance.
