Greetings,

That site is bogus...coats of arms were given to individuals (in service to a lord/earl/king or high ranking person with land)...not entire families etc, on another posting I made with the 'Robert the Bruce' thread explains in regards to the names of Rob etc, after looking over that houseofnames, the wider world should be more aware of that website because it is not accurate and the owner of that website should be taken to court for misleading those who would believe just because their surname is on it, makes it unique to them.

Another note: when looking up the name Robinson, yes the origin is in Yorkshire with the influence of Robert de Bruce, cause bruces had many lordships in Yorkshire and the possibility for the break down of the name Robinson spelt differently is correct, but as in my signature at the bottom 'Discovery consists of seeing what everyone else has seen, and thinking what no-one else has thought' could see the possibility that Rob-in-son taken in the same understanding as the term Mother-in-Law/Father-in-Law...interesting to wonder about that...son-of-Rob, Robert could have had many childern outside of marriage cause the name only appeared as a result of the Bruces being there!!! I wonder what discoveries can be made with that.


I hope this info can shed some more light on the subject,


All the best,


Graham.
