Does someone know Latin and can translate a family motto for me?

Question

Just looked up family heraldry and found family motto and I believe it is Latin..,forgive me if its not.The motto says"An Utrumque Paratus".I thank you so much for your time.

Thanks for all of the great responses and for the help..,didnt expect all these answers.I appreciate it so much..,gona be hard to choose the best as they are all..,excluding the 1st answer..,informative.You guys and gals are super!!!

Answer 1

Could it be utrimque paratus? "Utrimque" means "from both sides" or "on both sides" and paratus" means "prepared".

Utrum means "whether .... an" or "whether .... or" but I couldn't find any reference to utrumque.

There are a few people here on YA who do good Latin translations so maybe one of them will see your question. You might want to try it in the Arts and Humanities category.

Good luck with it.
