The book "Apellidos Catalanes. Heraldica de Cataluna" by Augusto Cuartas, where the history and heraldry of the name Crosto appears, describes Catalan lineages and family names, such as name Crosto. Covers the birthplace of the name Crosto, its derivatives, historical and etymological origin, as well as many other data of interest of the family name Crosto 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) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

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

3) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.

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

* MARTLET: The Martlets mean the number of defeated enemies and are the distinctive mark of the fourth son.

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

* CYPRESS: The Cypress symbolizes Elevated and Incorruptible Thoughts.

* CHECKY: The Checky symbolizes Military Art, for which reason it is usually awarded to soldiers who have exposed their lives in combat.

* TIGER: The Tiger represents Fierceness and Valour; Resentment; Dangerous if aroused.

* BOAR: The Boar symbolizes Dauntless and Boldness.

* CRESCENT: The Crescent, of oriental origin, symbolizes Victory against the darkness of slander, and Emulations against inconstancy and fickleness.

* EYE: The Eye is a symbol of Ingenuity and Capacity, if both are painted it symbolizes Vigilance and Care.
