| | Gord Family Crest |
 | | There is little doubt that bearers of Gord came to Britiain with the Normans, and it is generally thought that they descend from the place named "Gourdon" in Saone-et-Loire, Normandy, but the oldest roots of the bearers of Gord in Scotland may lie with the Boernician tribe of ancient Scotland. |
 | | It has been suggested that this place-name was originally derived from the Welsh (ancient Brithonic) words, "gor" and "din," which mean spacious and fort, and such, Gord would be a type hereditary surname, known as a habitation name: one that is derived from a pre-exiting name for a town, village, parish, or farmstead. |
 | | In the Gord coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement. |
