Where the Owens name comes from

Welsh, from Owen (Owain) with an English -s added after the Middle Ages. Owain comes from Old Welsh Ougein or Eugein, possibly from Latin Eugenius, or from Celtic roots meaning 'sheep', 'good' or 'desire' plus 'born of'. In Ireland it was adopted by bearers of Gaelic Mac Eoghain.

Spellings and related forms: Owen, Bowen, Mac Eoghain, McEwen.

About this crest

Follows Wikipedia's reading of Owen as 'noble', shown by a signet ring, a mark of rank.

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 Owens 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 Owens can own honestly.

Questions

Is this the official Owens coat of arms?

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

Can I change the text?

Yes. The family name is always Owens. Type your own line underneath: a year, first names or a place. Leave it empty if you want the name alone.

Do I see it before it is printed?

Yes. We email you a proof of your exact artwork before anything is printed. Nothing goes to production until you approve it.

How long does it take?

Each piece is printed to order in the USA. Printing takes up to 10 business days, then a few days in the mail, so allow 2 to 3 weeks. US shipping is free. Ordering for a date? Order early.

What if it arrives damaged or misprinted?

Tell us within 30 days with a photo and we reprint it at no charge. Because every piece carries your name, we cannot take back an item that arrived as approved.
