Spanish (Sánchez) patronymic surname from the personal name Sancho, meaning 'son of Sancho'. Wikipedia notes several medieval kings of the Christian Spanish kingdoms were named Sancho and their children took the surname Sánchez. In the US the name is also found among Native Americans, mainly Pueblos.
Spellings and related forms: Sánchez.
The name simply means 'son of Sancho', so the crest takes a flower to stand for its Spanish roots.
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 Sanchez 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 Sanchez can own honestly.
