Further research revealed that the name is derived from the Old English word ray, that referred to a roe or female deer.Scribes in Medieval Scotland spelled names by sound rather than any set of rules, so an enormous number of spelling variations exist in names of that era.

In the colonies, they could find not only freedom from the iron hand of the English government, but land to settle on.

Scots played essential roles in the forging of both great nations. Among them: Ree Settlers in the United States in the 17th 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: In omnia promptus Motto Translation: Ready for everything.
The Ree Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Ree 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 13:55. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
