==Name of the Dynasty==
The dynasty is known by two names, Pomerania, after their primary fief, and Griffin, after their coat of arms, which had depicted a griffin since the late 12th century: The first verifiable use of the griffin as the dynasty's heraldic emblem occurred in a seal of Casimir II, Duke of Pomerania, which showed the imaginary beast within a shield, and was attached to a document dated 1194.〔Werner Buchholz, Pommern, Siedler, 1999, p.37, ISBN 3-88680-272-8〕〔Kyra T. Inachin, Die Geschichte Pommerns, Hinstorff Rostock, 2008, p.18, ISBN 978-3-356-01044-2〕 The name ''Pomerania'' comes from Slavic ''po more'', which means ''() along the sea''.〔(''Der Name Pommern (po more) ist slawischer Herkunft und bedeutet so viel wie „Land am Meer“.'' ) ((ドイツ語:Pommersches Landesmuseum))〕
