I think it's Latin, according to Google it means "through difficulties to the heights" and is the motto of clan Hanna.

"Per Ardua ad Alta" is Latin and it means: Through difficulties to the heights.
The British Royal Air Force has a motto that is slightly different:
"Per Ardua ad Astra" = through difficulties to the stars, but for all practical reasons its meaning is the same: Hard work will get you great rewards.

Are you sure you have the spelling correct?
The more common form of this is Per ardua ad astra (astra means stars)
It is the motto of the UK Royal Air Force

The literal translation is"through difficulties to the heights" and is from Latin. It means that most good comes from something bad and that you can not have good without the bad. It can be a motto for life or an answer to the philosophical problem - 'the problem of evil.'
Hope this helps!
