Origin/meaning

The shield is inspired by the arms of St. Francis de Sales, patron of the city of Columbus, Ohio, in which the armiger was born and raised. The central charge on the shield is the Cross, a symbol of the armiger’s faith and their focus on Christ at the center of all that he does. The arms of this particular Cross (called a cross fleury) resemble a fleur-de-lis, a stylized lily often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. In addition the fleur de lis represents the armiger’s patron, St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney. The Cross fleury also appears on the coat of arms of the Dominican order whose friars staffed the armiger’s childhood parish. At the top and bottom of the shield there appear wheels, specifically spiked “catherine wheels” which allude to the armiger’s surname, Carter. Three such wheels also appear on the coat of arms of the Carter family.
