Family History:
The Odiorne surname comes from an Old French feminine personal name, Odierne, or Hodierne.
The surname Odiorne was first found in Devon where Robert filius Odiern was on record in the Pipe Rolls in 1197.
Known variations of Knowles include:
Odyearne, Odiorne and others
.
At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armor encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armor. Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but they were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066.
Note
: A Coat of Arms is sometimes also called a Family Shield, Code of Arms, Family Seal or Family Crest
