Research on the name Siddle and its original coat of arms
I discovered that the symbol on the shield means ‘S’ in an ancient language. The language was discovered amongst the remains of the ancient city of Ugarit and is now known as Ugaritic cuneiform.
The remains of Ugarit are close to the coast in north west Syria and form a 65 feet high mound that covers 63 acres. It is now called Ras Shamra.
Ugarit was invaded and destroyed around 1200 bc by the sea peoples, it was rediscovered in 1928, then in 1929 French archaeologists led by Claude F.A. Schaeffer began its excavation.
Approximately 1500 texts on clay tablets were found, some written in known ancient languages including Akkadian, Egyptian and Hittite but also many written in the previously unknown Ugaritic which has the oldest known alphabet.
Above are some artefacts found when Ugarit was excavated, the city’s history dates back millennia, Wikipedia says a wall was built around it possibly as early as 6000 bc...
(siddlearms.page.tl) states that the name Siddle is ancient and comes from a Mesopotamian/Phoenician root word, Sidi, which means Saint in one language and my master in another, this page was my starting point for this research.
