above is a link that explains where your surname originated (24th most popular surname in Ireland!! I would never have guessed that). Crest is on the page too.
Reply:There is absolute no such thing as a family crest. A crest is part of a coat of arms. See the links below, one from the British College of Arms (they issue coats of arms), one from the most prestigious genealogical organization in the U.S., The National Genealogical Society, and one regarding Irish coats of arms.

Coats of arms were and are granted to individuals and they are passed down through the direct male line of descent. Now I understand those that are granted to men that are knighted or to Americans who have applied to the College of Arms and have been granted one are not hereditary.





Actually, there might be, for instance, 15 different men by the name of Daly that were each granted their own coat of arms, all different. However, the peddlers that sell them on the internet, at airports, at shopping malls, in magazines and solicit by direct mail will not have all 15, no way. They don't need to in order to sell to gullible people. Now if the same surname is found in more than one country, they will have one for each country, if there is one, but there might have been 5 in each country with a particular surname that were granted one.





The coats of arms they have are usually valid but they belong to specific individuals not everyone with that surname. The family history and motto that goes with them are usually valid, but not for everyone with that surname.





If this is a school assignment, please print off the links I have furnished you and give them to your teacher. Also, feel free to give him/her a copy of what I am furnishing you.





Anytime you go into someone's home and see one of those dinky little walnut plaques on their den wall or over their fireplace, what they are displaying is a coat of arms that was granted to someone with their surname and probably isn't even related.


Courtesy means that people who understand genealogy and heraldry will not laugh at someone in their own home.





You can tell everyone that Daly is about the only Irishman mentioned in the Bible, "It says Jesus taught Daily in the temple."
Reply:I'm a Daly too! The crest I have says, "Dea FIdelis Et Regi" Got it while in Ireland, you might be able to find a picture here http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx...
Reply:Daly is a name that has the same description in all of my texts in every country. Daly is of ancient Celtic origin according to Burke's records.





Blazon: Per fesse argent and or a lion ramppant per fess sable and gules, in chief two dexter hands couped of the last.





Crest: In front of an oak tree ppr., fructed or, a greyhound courant sable, collared gold. [sic] (it says gold instead of "or").





Motto: Deo Fidelis et Regi; Latin for - Faithful to God and King





Supporters: Lions rampant (when mentioned).





In some books the crest alone (black greyhound in front of an oak tree) is mentioned for Daly. An image of the crest with the shield can be viewed here: http://www.rushings.info/images/daly_1.j...
