New! Family Heritage Flag - A Federal Flags Exclusive

Your family name has a story. Now it has a flag!

Every family name is a story passed down through generations. It crossed oceans, survived hard winters and new beginnings, and found its way to you. Long before it was painted on a mailbox or called out at a graduation, it belonged to blacksmiths and millers, to families in Welsh valleys, Scottish glens and Spanish hill towns.

Note:  The images shown here are sample images to show how our designs look. But we can create a flag design for any surname. Just enter your surname (last name) in the Surname field when you add to cart.

A Family Heritage Flag gives that story a place of honor. Each flag carries an original, richly illustrated coat of arms designed around the origin and meaning of your family name: the land it came from, the work it once described, and the saints, kings and legends behind it. At its center, your name rests on a golden banner, surrounded by symbols chosen for your name alone.

This isn't a stock design with a name added at the bottom. It is your family's story, told in color.

How Your Flag Is Created

Tell us your family name, and we'll design a coat of arms around it. We start with where your name comes from and what it means: the country and region it was born in, the trade or landscape it once described, and the saints, rulers and legends connected to it. Then we turn that story into art.

• The crest crowns the design with the defining emblem of your name.
• The supporters, two guardians on either side of the shield, are chosen for the qualities and homeland of your name.
• The shield tells your name's story, pairing classic heraldic symbols with a scene from the land your family came from.
• The garland weaves together the flowers and plants of that homeland.
• The banner carries your family name in bold classical lettering, right where it belongs.

The result is a flag that's yours alone: a one-of-a-kind design made for a single family name, rich with meaning in every detail.

A Gift That Will Be Treasured for Generations

Some gifts are used up. Others are kept forever. A Family Heritage Flag belongs with the ones that last: the quilt on the bed, the family Bible, the photo album on the shelf.

• For parents and grandparents, a way to say "thank you for the name you gave us."
• For newlyweds, a first heirloom for a new household.
• For family reunions, a banner to gather everyone under.
• For Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays and holidays, a gift that's personal without guesswork.
• For new homeowners, a proud first flag for the porch.
• For the family historian, a beautiful companion to years of genealogy research.

Every flag comes with a printed keepsake card explaining your name's origin and the meaning of each symbol, so the story travels with it from one generation to the next.

Family Heritage Flags are original, symbolic designs created to celebrate the origin and meaning of each family name. They are not official or historical grants of arms to any individual family.
