In old Finnish the armiger's surname literally meant "fieldfare". The armiger finds the cross pattee and colours visually pleasing - they do not include any specific symbolism. In the crest, Tuomaanristi is a traditional Finnish Christmas decoration - its name literally means "Tuomas's cross", or in anglicized form "Thomas's cross", Tuomas being armiger's first name. The arms are thus canting, directly referring to the armiger's first and last names, as well as looking visually pleasing. | In old Finnish the armiger's surname literally meant "fieldfare".
