Where did the Scottish Glasner family come from? What is the Scottish Glasner family crest and coat of arms? When did the Glasner family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Glasner family history? Scotland's western coastal mountains and the desolate Hebrides spawned the line of the Glasner family. The name Glasner was originally a nickname for a person with gray hair. The surname Glass is derived from the Gaelic word glas, which means gray, however, it may also be a shortened Anglicized form of the surname MacGille Glais, which means son of the gray lad.Spelling and translation were not standardized practices until the last few centuries. Spelling variations are extremely common among early Scottish names. Glasner has been spelled Glass, Glas, MacGilleglas, Glasse and others. First found in Buteshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Settlers from Scotland put down roots in communities all along the east coast of North America. Some moved north from the American colonies to Canada as United Empire Loyalists during the American War of Independence. As Clan societies and highland games started in North America in the 20th century many Scots rediscovered parts of their heritage. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Glasner were among those contributors: Duncan Glass who settled in Virginia in 1651 with his wife Mary; William Glass settled in New England in 1709 with his wife, two sons and two daughters. 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: Luctor Motto Translation: I struggle, but am not overwhelmed.
The Glasner Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Glasner 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 27 October 2010 at 13:36. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
