Leonardi coat of arms contributed by Herbie Greenleaf: He writes: I have Coat Of Arms for several hundred Minorcan Families but only color schemes for half of them. My goal is to continue working on the unfinished ones and have them posted to the site. Each Coat Of Arms represents a family and holds specific meaning. Should you care to know their meaning you can contact me at my e-mail address With time I will get back with you,--I hope you enjoy viewing the Coat Of Arms.

This version of Leonardi coat of arms was done by a heraldry company (2002) for a fee. We are suspicious concerning its authenticity. --halsema.org editors. (See end note 5.) |

If the first Leonardi crest above is authentically from this Leonardi family, it seems possible they added the sailing ship after arriving in either Menorca or Florida as part of telling their story of travel over seas. The ship does not seem to appear in any depictions of Leonardi coats of arms from Italy. 5. Several crests for Leonardi are displayed in: V. & H. V. Rolland's Illustrations to the Armorial General by J.B. Rietstap II, Heraldry Today, London, 1967. The third crest above is displayed in this publication as coming from Bologna which it also states on the document above. The lion in the other crests is displayed in this article as coming from Milan. |
