The Fleur de Lys (flower of the lilly) is the symbol of French Royalty. It was supposidely presented to the first King of France (Clovis) by an Angel as a symbol of purification for his conversion to Christianity.

In heraldry it was first used by king Louis VI who became the first monarch to use it on his shield. It is noteworthy that a few English kings used it later on their coats of arms to emphasize their claim to the throne of France.

What does the House of Dereon symbol mean?

It is the Fleur de lis symbolic in France which means Lilly flower. Well, while that is true this particular symbol that the House Of Dereon uses is a upside down Fluer de lis which is basically the same as a upside down crucifix. Here is why. In religion the three petals of the heraldic design reflect a widespread association with the Holy Trinity "The Father, The Son, & The Holy Spirit", with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. The tradition says that without Mary you can not understand the Trinity since it was she who bore The Son. a tradition going back to 14th century France, added onto the earlier belief that they also represented faith, wisdom and chivalry. So, with that being said on a religious bases why is the House of Dereons Fluer de lis upside down? It's much like a upside down crucifix that your wearing on your clothing. Look up what the Fluer de lis represented as far as religion on Wikipedia.
