Etymology of DeanesWhat does the name Deanes mean? This Irish family claim descent from the Tribes of Galway, and was a native family that when the name is Anglicized from Gaelic, it becomes Dean(e) or a family that came from England to the Emerald Isle. Early Origins of the Deanes familyThe surname Deanes was first found in Galway (Irish: Gaillimh) part of the province of Connacht, located on the west coast of the Island, and Mayo. According to Hardiman, the name came from England when William Den of Bristol arrived in Galway. But we defer to MacLysaght, who notes the family claim descent as "one of the 'Tribes of Galway', and was originally le Den. Another family of Ormond was de Denne.

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: Forti et fideli nihil difficile
Motto Translation: To the brave and faithful man nothing is difficult.
