martlet
A martlet in English heraldry is a heraldic charge depicting a stylized bird similar to a house martin or swallow, though missing feet. It should be distinguished from the ''merlette'' of French heraldry, which is a duck-like bird with a swan-neck and chopped-off beak and legs.
==Etymology==
The word "martlet" is derived from the bird known as the martin, with the addition of the diminutive suffix "-let"; thus martlet means "little martin". The origin of the name martin is obscure, though it may refer to the festival Martinmas, which occurs around the same time martins begin their migration from Europe to Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=martin (n.) )〕
