They eventually became what we call "last names" or "surnames". The web site House of Names is an excellent place to go and view your family's last name history and heraldic colors or symbols. These symbols are often called "Coat of Arms". An example; The Washington family coat of arms is a white field with two large horizontal bars of red running across the center with three red stars lined horizontally above the bars. The DC license plates usually have this symbol as the city bares the family name.
