It may be helpful for those with the name Ast to know that, in the 15th century, hereditary surnames are already more or less consolidated, thanks in part to the obligation (at the initiative of Cisneros) to record births and deaths in parish books.

2) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.

3) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* IVY: The Ivy symbolizes Love Bond and also Triumph.

* TREE: The Tree is a symbol of Ancient and Clarified Nobility.

* PORCUPINE: The Porcupine is a symbol of Strength against danger, because it closes in on itself and defends itself with its own weapons (quills).

* FOUNTAIN: The Fountain is a symbol of Philanthropy and Splendidity.

* PANELA: The Panelas are figures similar to a heart and are a symbol of Vigilant Vassal.
