"Patronus cognationis" would mean defender of the family-- defender as in: advocate or patron.

"Vindex cognationis" would mean defender of the family-- defender as in protector.

"Conservator cognationis" would mean defender of the family-- defender as in one who upholds and preserves.

In all of these, the word "cognationis" is the possessive plural of the word "cognatio," which means family, kinsmen, blood relatives, etc.
