The ancient name Carrig was first used by the Strathclyde people of the Scottish/English Borderlands. It is derived from the personal name Craig. Thus, Carrig is a patronymic name, taken from the given name of the father or some other ancestor of the bearer. However, Carrig may also be of local origin, referring to those who lived in or near the place called Carrick in Ayrshire.

Carrig has been spelled Carrick, Carick, Carich, Carrich, Karryck, Karrik, Karrick, Kerrich, Kerrick, Carrig, Carrigy, McCarrigy and many more.

The Carrig 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: Garde bien
Motto Translation: Watch well.
