Everything about Armiger totally explained
» Armiger may also refer to the AGM Armiger anti-radiation missile.
An
armiger is a person entitled to use a
coat of arms. Such a person is said to be
armigerous.
Originally an armiger was an Armour-Bearer or
Esquire, attendant upon a
Knight, but bearing his own unique armorial device.
The term "armiger" is well-defined only within jurisdictions (such as the
United Kingdom,
Canada,
Ireland, and
Spain) where
heraldry is regulated by the state or heraldic body (such as the
College of Arms in
England,
Wales, and
Northern Ireland, the
Office of the Chief Herald in
Ireland or the
Court of the Lord Lyon in
Scotland), since anyone may use any coat of arms in jurisdictions, such as the
United States, which lack regulated heraldry. In the
Netherlands titles of nobility are regulated by law but heraldry is not.
A person can be so entitled either by descent from a person with a right to bear a
coat of arms, or by virtue of a grant of arms to him or herself.
Armiger was also used as a Latin
cognomen, and is now found as a rare surname in English-speaking countries.
