This symbol represents a stylized lily or Lotus flower. It has several meanings. It has been used to represent French Royalty signifying near perfection.

An Angel presented the flower to Clovis, King of the Franks upon his conversion to Christianity. Louis V1 used it as a device on his shield and other clothing as a 'coat of arms' Joan of Arc carried it on a banner. The Catholic Church recognised it as a special emblem of thew Virgin Mary. The three petals has been used to represent the Holy Trinity. Parts of the US Army use the Fleur de Lis to represent martial power and strength.
