Etymology of YoungloveWhat does the name Younglove mean? A Strathclyde-Briton family from the Scottish/English Borderlands was the first to use the surname Younglove. It is a name for a person who was very young, from the Old English word yong and yung. Alternatively, it could be "a personal name the same in meaning with Gaelic Og, 'young.' " 1 Early Origins of the Younglove familyThe surname Younglove was first found in the borderlands between Scotland and England. The name was first borne in this region by a Strathclyde-Briton family, as revealed in records dating back to the 13th century. "Its centre in the north is in Northumberland and Durham. Over a large part of Scotland, but especially south of the Forth and the Clyde, Young is numerously to be found." 2 One of the earliest records of the family was in the Latin form of the name (typical of the time): "Malmor dictus Juvenis and Ade dictus Juvenis were assizers at Dumbarton in 1271." 1 Years later, John Yong de Dyngvale witnessed a charter by the earl of Ross to Reginald, son of Roderick of the Isles, in 1342 and one year later, Symone Yong was burgess of Elgin in 1343.

| Younglove migration to the United States | + |
The persecution faced in their homeland left many Scots with little to do but sail for the colonies of North America. There they found land, freedom, opportunity, and nations in the making. They fought for their freedom in the American War of Independence, or traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In both cases, they made enormous contributions to the formation of those great nations. Among them:

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: Roberi prudentia praestat
Motto Translation: Prudence excels strength.
