Where did the English Frary family come from? What is the English Frary family crest and coat of arms? When did the Frary family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Frary family history?

Frary is an ancient Anglo-Saxon surname that came from the baptismal name Frederick. Baptismal names began to appear as surnames relatively late in the growth of the naming tradition. This is a little surprising, given the popularity of biblical figures in the Christian countries of Europe. Nevertheless, surnames derived from baptismal names grew in popularity during the Middle Ages, and have become one of the foremost sources for surnames.

The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Frary has been recorded under many different variations, including Frederick, Fredericks, Frederic, Frary and others.

First found in Lincolnshire where they held a family seat from very early times.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Frary or a variant listed above:

Frary Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • John Frary, who arrived in Massachusetts in 1636
  • John Frary, who landed in Dedham, Massachusetts in 1656
  • Theophilus Frary, who landed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1657

Frary Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century

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: Prudens simplicitas beat
Motto Translation: Prudent simplicity blesses
