Where did the Scottish Manteau family come from? What is the Scottish Manteau family crest and coat of arms? When did the Manteau family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Manteau family history? The ancient Viking-Scottish name Manteau is derived from the personal name Magnus, which is derived from the Latin word magnus, which means great. This name was popular among the Norsemen and was borrowed in honor of Charlemagne, who was known as Carolus Magnus in Latin. The spellings of Scottish names dating from the medieval era often bear little resemblance to those seen today. They vary enormously because scribes in that time spelled according to their ears. Some spelling variations of the name Manteau include Manson, Manseon, Mansson, Mainson, Monson, Mansoun, Magnuson and many more. First found in Caithness, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Scotland. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Manteau research. Another 310 words(22 lines of text) covering the years 1000, 1450, and 1658 are included under the topic Early Manteau History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Manteau Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. The farms of Scottish settlers soon dotted the east coast of the colonies that would become the nations of the United States and Canada. Many of those migrants and their children went on to play important roles in the founding the great nations of North America. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the Scottish name Manteau or a variant listed above, including: Luke Manson settled in Virginia in 1654; Barbara, Elizabeth and her mother Elizabeth, Janet, Margaret, and Thomas Manson all settled in Georgia in 1775. 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: Meae menor originis Motto Translation: Mindful of my origin.
The Manteau Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Manteau 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 13:49. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
