Post your family crest
Klocknov:
Seems correct after doing a bit of a dig into the Coat of Arm. The history part of the name was a bit of a shocker to see right since the last time I tried to research my name I was mixed in with a bunch of English and French commoners... as it is Italian.
Though my last didn't have one to no surprise, I just knew my mum's maiden name would. Though they have my papa's family coat of arms wrong on there.

Not surprising. Jews were almost non-existent as part of the European nobility. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Herzog family (descended from Baron Herzog of the Austro-Hungarian Empire).

The hits I found on names related to my family had the wrong origins.

Spanish
and German
I know the spanish one is right but the german, I don't think so...

More than one crest for one family is normal, since every family branch, even if they had the same name, had different crests for differentiation...
If you really want to find the crest of your family branch you have to get your family tree and take a look at the official Roll of arms in europe (or whereever your family is from). With some luck, if your family branch had a crest, you'll find it, and can use that.
Although it is no problem to create a new crest and register it at one of the Roll of arms for your family. Then you'll really know what yours is ;)
I would be cautios with those pages on the web that claim to know the crest of your family (reason above) and make money with those...
Oh, and here a nice link for some original crest
edit: just saw that not all names from the pictures are in the list... so just take a look even if your name is not in the list ;)
and another link to a list of pages with crests : click here

But like most above have stated these arent the most accurate they just grab what they can find and most families have several crests anyway. But they are still always nice to look at :)

Says that's ours.
The respectable part of my family is English. We're all descended from a British soldier who came here to the US in 1632.
