The word "motto" takes its roots from the Latin "devidere", which means "to share". The meaning of the name suggests that the motto - usually one of the components of the banner or the coat of arms - was always located outside the main elements depicted on them. As a rule, a special motto ribbon (or part of it) was taken for the motto, occupying a separate space allocated for it on the field of the emblem or banner.
Such concepts as the family coat of arms and its motto invariably lead us back to History, and there is nothing strange about it: even in Ancient Rome, the motto of the family defined the foundations that guided all its members and spoke much about the history and merits of this family. As for the Latin mottos - the sentiments of the Eternal City - they later became the basis for the mottos of many countries.
There are three kinds of mottoes:
- mottoes are figured. These kind of mottos are, in fact, emblems, and in some cases they are emblems of individual states or dynasties. Remember the lily - the emblem of the French royal dynasties, or the rose - the emblem of England;
- mottos that combine figurative and verbal images. Sometimes they resort to this in order to supplement the basic motto in an unobtrusive form with an auxiliary one. But quite often the figurative image simply illustrates the verbal form of the motto;
- verbal mottoes. This group of mottos is the most common and accessible for understanding.
How relevant is the concept of the motto of the family in our time? For a huge number of families in European countries, it never lost its relevance: in them, from generation to generation, the family coat of arms and its motto were kept unchanged.
If you ask why the motto of the family is needed at all, and what is its meaning, the answer may surprise you a little. A thought or word expressed aloud acquires an independent life and begins to search persistently for the ways for its incarnation.
Therefore, the motto of the family, transferred from one family to another, is able to control and guide the actions and life path of each generation. It is very unlikely that a man whose family motto for centuries (even decades!) Was the words "Honor is more precious than life", can act unworthily. In other words, the motto gives quite a lot of information about the family and its members. Especially important may be a motto for a young family, and it's perfectly understandable: the words they have chosen as their motto for their family will lead them through life.
Do not be lazy and think about what, in your opinion, best reflects the essence of your family? What image? Which character? What phrase or word? Do you represent your family in a united, unbroken ball? Find the motto describing a happy family! All members of the family are not at all lazy, and very fond of playing sports? Choose the motto that speaks about a sports family!
What if the family is both friendly and athletic? There are two exits. Either choose one, the general motto of the family, reflecting both, and another feature. Or choose two separate mottos: one motto is for a friendly family, and the second motto is for a sports family. They can perfectly coexist together.
If the family has children, just think about the children's mottoes of the family. Such mottoes fall under the definition of a personal motto. Personal motto was and has all the statesmen and outstanding personalities of History.
Personal motto can vary throughout the life of its owner, and be not only permanent, but also temporary - when it is put forward only for a specific situation.
The children's motto of your family can have a hint of a joke, while the baby is not very grown up, but after a while it's better to replace it with a more serious symbol. Perhaps you will like the motto "Obliged - it means I can!", Which led the life of Alexander Suvorov.
In addition to the motto of your family, you can come up with a name for yourself, which will also express your credo. The name and motto of the family, decorated clearly and with a soul, will look appropriate in any part of your apartment. They will come to tell that in this house there live people who are protecting and loving their home and each other. And to you the motto of the family will become just a silent and faithful assistant in life.
