English, from Middle English and Old English fox, used for a sly or cunning person or someone with red hair. In Ireland it translates Gaelic Ó Sionnaigh or Mac an tSionnaigh 'son/descendant of the fox'; the Ó Sionnaigh were rulers of Tethbae in the Irish Midlands. It is also an Americanized translation of names meaning 'fox', such as German Fuchs.
Spellings and related forms: Foxe, Foxx, Ó Sionnaigh, Mac an tSionnaigh, Tinney, Fuchs (German), Vos (Dutch).
The name simply means fox, given to someone as quick-witted or red-haired as the animal.
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 Fox 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 Fox can own honestly.

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