Welsh patronymic from Evan (Efan, Ifan), medieval Welsh forms of Ieuan, from Latin Johannes, the source of English John; the English-style -s was added after the Middle Ages, from about 1500. It is the fifth most common surname in Wales. A related form, ab Evan, gave the surname Bevan.
Spellings and related forms: Bevan, Evanson, Ifan, Ieuan.
The name is purely Welsh in origin, so the leek, a long-standing emblem of Wales, marks where it began.
Most surnames have no single "family crest". In heraldry, a coat of arms belonged to one person and passed down one line of descent. Sites that sell "the Evans coat of arms" usually show the arms of one historic family that shared the name. Ours is different on purpose: an original design built from what the name means, which any Evans can own honestly.

No. Coats of arms were granted to individual people, not to everyone who shares a surname, so there is no single Evans coat of arms that every Evans can claim. This crest is our own original design. The shield shows a leek, chosen from the meaning of the name.
