It's Semper Fidelis, and it means "Always Faithful"

Templar is a corruption of the Latin word for temple or sanctuary, templum. It is not correct in the form that you have given, so it is unclear how they meant fidelis (faithful) to modify it, as the cases do not match. It may be a reference to the Knights Templar, as a previous person noted, but their Latin is off. I suspect it was coined by someone who didn't know the language, just a word here and there.

Templar means temple. as in the Knights Templar; Knights of the Temple. Fidelis = loyalty, fidelity. So Loyalty to the Temple, or Loyalty to the Knights Templar. sort of like there version of "all for one and one for all" from the three musketeers. maby the person who named it was going for "Temple of the Faithful or something like that.
