The Homan name was originally an Anglo-Saxon name that was given to a person who worked as a servant for Hugh.Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Homan has undergone many spelling variations, including Homan, Homans, Howman, Hoeman, Hownam and others. First found in Huntingdonshire, where they held a family seat from very early times.

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Homan were among those contributors: Homan Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
Homan Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
Homan 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: Labile quod opportunum Motto Translation: That which is opportune is quickly gone, or opportunity soon slips by.
The Homan Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Homan 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 20 November 2011 at 16:20. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
