Early Origins of the Bevia family

The surname Bevia was first found in Austria, where the name Bevier came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. It later became more prominent as many branches of the same house acquired distant estates, some in foreign countries which, combined with their great contributions to society, served to elevate their social status. The family became well-known as a family of imperial knights and barons.

The Bevia Motto +

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: Recte faciendo
Motto Translation: Act justly.
