armiger
In heraldry, an armiger is a person entitled to use a coat of arms (e.g., bear arms, an "armour-bearer") either by hereditary right, grant, matriculation, or assumption of arms. Such a person is said to be armigerous.
==Etymology==
The Latin word ''armiger'' literally means "arms-bearer". In high and late medieval England, the word referred to an esquire attendant upon a knight, but bearing his own unique armorial device. 〔''Dictionary of Chivalry'', Uden. Kestrel Books, Harmondsworth, 1968. ISBN 0-7226-5372-7〕
''Armiger'' was also used as a Latin cognomen, and is now found as a rare surname in English-speaking countries.
