The shape of the background '''(cairons, square lozenges)''' is unique to Catalan heraldry, in the sense that it’s the only tradition that distinguishes them from normal '''lozenges'''.<br>
The '''Azure and Argent''' are a reference to the Virgin Mary, as there has been, since at least the 11th c., a small chapel within the armigers family’s ancestral lands (a farm) dedicated to Our Lady of *surname*. <br>
The '''double-headed eagle''' is a pun on the armigers surname (some linguists say it means “divided”, “on both sides of a border”).<br>
Finally, the '''crest''' is a reference to the armigers '''maternal arms'''.
