The surname Jardim was first used in the Scottish/English Borderlands by an ancient Scottish people called the Strathclyde-
Britons. It was a name for someone who lived in
Angus. Jardim is thought to have been a Norman name that made it's way North into
Scotland. It is ultimately derived from the Old French word
jardin, or "garden." Further research indicates that the family settled very early in the barony of Gardyne in the parish of Kirkden, Angus. It is from these lands that the family takes its name; although a more literal interpretation of the name would mean 'of the garden.' The family also held estates in Arbroath, Aberdeen, Banff and Perth for centuries.
Early Origins of the Jardim family
The surname Jardim was first found in
Angus (Gaelic: Aonghas), part of the Tayside region of northeastern

Migration of the Jardim family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the uncertainties and discrimination faced in
Scotland, many decided to head out for North America. Once they arrived, many Scots fought with relish in the American War of Independence; some went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. Many ancestors of these Scots have recovered their lost national heritage in the 20th century through
Clan organizations and Scottish historical societies. Among the settlers to North America were: Andrew and Bessie Jardin landed in America in 1685; Christopher Jardine settled in New Orleans in 1822; George, Joseph, and
Lewis Jardine settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1798 and 1846.

The Jardim 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: Cave adsum
Motto Translation: Beware I am here.
