Clan Badge identification
I was rummaging through an old box in the basement and found an old Scottish Clan crest. It is the standard circular belt with a unicorn inside. Written on the belt, it reads "Tout vient de Dieu" which is French for "All comes from God".
Any ideas as to what clan this may belong to?

The only site I could find with an Unicorn for a symbol was this...

but it's not the same moto.

It appears that the Irish Leahy family used that motto, but I couldn't find a crest or badge for them.

A Google search for the motto revealed that it is associated with the Irish family of Leahy, Leah, and Leigh, as well as the Clinton name.
However, it also appeared on a couple of on-line lists of "common heraldic mottos"....

I also have a clan badge (necklace) of this description, which I found at a used clothing store. The motto and the unicorn head seem to be common, but I haven't been able to identify mine either.

It might also be Oliphant - altho this motto is Tout Pourvoir (To provide for all) Sometimes the motto on the badge is taken from a longer one on the clan chief's coat of arms and this could be the case
