The book "Apellidos Catalanes. Heraldica de Cataluna" by Augusto Cuartas, where the history and heraldry of the name Alfes appears, describes Catalan lineages and family names, such as name Alfes. Covers the birthplace of the name Alfes, its derivatives, historical and etymological origin, as well as many other data of interest of the family name Alfes that justify its origin. All this as a result of the work of an expert in HERALDRY that has unraveled the historical and heraldic archives during a patient research work on the last names, lineages and heraldry of Catalonia.

One of the most distinctive qualities of heraldry is the use of a limited palette of colours and patterns, usually referred to as tinctures. These are divided into three categories, known as metals, colours, and furs.

Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:

1) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

2) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

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

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

* RIVER: The River symbolizes, due to its condition of increasing its flow as it advances, the Knight who leaves his house with a desire to advance and returns to it enriched with Erudition and Fortune.

* STAG: The Stag symbolizes Effortless Courage, which draws and recovers energy even on the most adverse occasions.

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* NETTLE: The Nettle symbolizes Affliction.

* RAVEN: The Raven is a symbol of the Bold and Courageous Spirit that risks itself in defense of its benefactors.

* CINQUEFOIL: The Cinquefoils symbolize Hope and Joy.

* BEZANT: The Bezants, due to its oriental significance, was adopted by most of the Knights who took part in the expedition to the Holy Land.

* HOLM: The Holm Oak is a symbol of Strong and Constant Spirit in heroic actions and courageous undertakings.
