does any one no the meaning of the coat of arms for phillipson?

Answer 1

Hey Dane,

You may want to research your family through genealogy, instead of the pursuit of a Shield being sold by someone. It will be more meaningful to you and yours in the long run.

Here are some sites to follow up with.

But if you insist on family crest, see the LAST web site, it tells what they think it is.

Answer 2

Ted's right. People try to sell "family" arms all over the place, when they were given to one specific family, not to any "name." But, if you're not concerned with the actual history, and trying to trace your family through 18 or so generations, here, the most common one is:

A red background with a silver chevron in the middle, surrounded by three silver boar's heads, and with a silver border around the whole thing. It's English, by the by. Or, in heraldic blazon:

Rouge, a chevron argent between three boar's heads erased argent, a bordure engrailed argent around all.

Oh, and, contrary to New Age belief, the different colours didn't mean anything. They were just there. The Victorians got this hair up their butt to make the colours MEAN something, like purity and valour and that sort of crap. But they DID NOT MEAN ANYTHING. Usually the arms referred to some family trait, or feat, or line of work, or a play on the family name.

Answer 3

Which specific man named Phillipson? There are several. There is no such thing as a family coat of arms, although dozens of coffe mug and t-shirt merchants will try to tell you otherwise.
