Dolphin: In heraldry, the dolphin is known as the “King of Fish” and is a symbol of charity, affection, and social love. It is often associated with the idea of salvation and resurrection in Christian symbolism, as well as swiftness, diligence, and protection. When depicted as naiant (swimming), it represents readiness and activity; when embowed (curved), it emphasizes grace and agility. The dolphin was historically viewed as a friend to man, guiding ships to safety, which underscores its meaning of guidance and guardianship.
General Symbolic Meaning: The dolphin crest suggests a lineage that values benevolence, swift action in aid of others, and a strong moral compass. It implies a family history connected to the sea or one that prides itself on guiding and protecting others through difficulties.
