Name Origin & Heraldic Arms 
|
An online search turned up the first two arms at right. Perhaps they are the generic arms of the clan.
The first is at www.houseofnames.com, the second at www.allfamilycrests.com. The third is a rendering by author
from a blazon document. It is traditional in our family. It most likely belongs to a chief who was not
the first son. More research is needed and perhaps it would lead to knowledge of which of Adam's
descendants produced our lineage.
House of Names displays it with the motto "Keep Tryst". Our family records give the motto in Latin
as "Prudentia et Virtute".
Hepburn is a Scottish family name that is also associated with a variety of famous personages,
eponyms, places, and things. Whilst a Scottish name, it's origins are widely suspected to lie
south of the border in the English town of Hebburn, in South Tyneside. The origins of the name
are suggested to be the same as that of the town from the Anglo Saxon words heah, meaning high
and byrgen, meaning burial place. Alternatively it could mean something along the lines
of "high place beside the water", as the word burn is a still widely used Scots word to mean river.
