Spanish (Gómez) patronymic surname from a medieval personal name, probably of Visigothic origin, from guma 'man'. Wikipedia glosses it as 'son of Gome' and notes Germanic cognates such as Old English guma, related to Latin homo. The Portuguese and Old Galician form is Gomes and the Catalan form is Gomis. Some Sephardic Jewish families adopted it at conversion and kept it after returning to Judaism.
Spellings and related forms: Gómez, Gomes, Gomis.
The name likely comes from the Visigothic word guma 'man', so the crest uses a Visigothic-style eagle brooch.
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 Gomez 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 Gomez can own honestly.

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