The name Artrip is rooted in the ancient
Anglo-Saxon culture. It was originally a name for someone who worked as a maker of
chests, or other pieces of furniture.
Wright is a word for a
cabinet maker, or more generally a
worker in wood. The element "ark" is derived from the Old English
arc, meaning "ark, chest," and "wright" which is derived from the Old English
wyrhta, meaning "craftsman, maker."
Early Origins of the Artrip family
The surname Artrip was first found in
Derbyshire, where the Artrip family held a

Migration of the Artrip family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Artrip or a variant listed above: John Arkwright, who settled in Jamaica in 1685.

The Artrip 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: Multa tuli fecique
Motto Translation: I have endured and done much.
