NameShack Heraldic Designs

Welcome to the world of Omnastics and Heraldry, a blend of surname meanings, origins and display of arms associated with those names. Our shop came about from the love of learning what a name means and seeing how that name was reflected in their arms designs. Arms have been granted over the last ten centuries to countless thousands of individuals including, possibly, someone of your surname. These arms were the way to distinguish participants in combat when their faces were hidden and from a distance across the battlefield, so the designs are clean and distinctive. Even though each coat of arms was granted to a single individual, and not actually to a family line, many people enjoy owning, and privately displaying, a coat of arms historically associated with their family name. Many of the designs here can be altered, background colors, text etc. to enable you to match your home decor. Have any questions? Contact us, we usually respond the same day.
