Crest & Motto

Clan MacThomas Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan MacThomas is Deo Juvante Invidiam Superabo (With God's help I will overcome envy). It appears on the Clan MacThomas crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
