Manrique Family Crest
Posted on 10. Jun, 2008 by El Heraldo in Family, Manrique, coat of Arms, origin, surname
Good afternoon, today I have for you the family crest of the last name Manrique. Mr. Pablo Andrés Manriquez Galvao, requested the shield of the last name MANRIQUEZ, in the Spanish Nobiliary I found the last name Manrique, without the “Z”, and it is not specific about it being the same in two forms. Eventually I found in a source of Anglo-Saxon heraldry, the statement that they are the same last name. I took more time since I wanted to verify such statement.
Derived Castilian last name of the name Manrique. The trunk of this lineage seems to be in Toba of Valdivielso, in the county of Burgos. Another house was located in Salamanca, and another in the Villa of Benavente and one more in Tarazona. This last name proved its nobility in Santiago’s Order and San Juan de Jerusalem Order. Don José Manrique de Arana was created Marquis of Villa Alegre de Andollo on December 7, 1685; don Nicolás Manrique de Lara, became Marquis of Lara on December 10,1739, and don Jerónimo Manrique de Lara, became Count of Almudez de Toledo on February 23, 1790.
Its Arms: In gules field, two boilers jaqueladas of gold and sable, on a column, with four sinople serpents, sticking out of each side of the handles, two towards inside and two towards out. Motto “US NON OF KING, KINGS COME FROM US.”

Amazing. I’ve always wondered about my surname. Thank you very much for posting this. One quick question though…”US NON OF KING…”
What does that mean?

Pablo thank you for visiting our blog. the “MOTTO” means, “we do not come from kings, kings come from us” does that makes sense? tell your friends about us!

Excelent.
Looks like i’ve heard of that motto before. Dont know where or when exactly. Maybe my grandfather. But Indeed: The blood of kings come from us; we have the ability to become true knights and kings. The world need true ones.
Thanks!

Another Manrique here from Arkansas. My family came to America from Guanajuato, Mexico and settled in Texas for the most part. I’ve heard of the family motto as being “Nos non venimos de reyes, que reyes vienen de nos.”(We don’t come from kings, kings come from us.)
All of the Manrique family is descended from the Lara family of Spain. Our Manrique last name comes from Manrique Perez de Lara, son of, Pedro Gonsalez de Lara.

This Manrique here from Mexico City. I got the name from relatives in Guerrero. While there’s many ways to get a surname, I think ours is an uncommon one (both as a given and a family name), so there may be a chance some of us are related.
I think it’d be nice to track where we come from…

My Manrique comes from Villalobos, Spain (N of Madrid in Castilla), then to Mendoza and Buenos Aires Argentina, and my generation… Montreal, Quebec, Canada (born in Argentina, though).

people, the last name manrique doesnt come from this, it is lara……..this is the crest of one of the families branches, descending from the person names Manrique De Lara…………and most laras dont come from that line because they mostly dies out in the 15th century……..

I have always wondered all so but my grandfather had got rid of the de lara part from our last name so now we are just manrique. I love our crest.
