The "Lawless" Coat of Arms originates from Ireland. The name "Lawless" derives from an Old English word "Laghles" meaning "Outlaw". In this design version, the helmet represents "wise defense". The shield represents "dominion, authority, wisdom or achievement in battle". The bales of wheat represent abundance or achievement of hope. The jagged lines represent "fire". The taamoko (New Zealand Maori tattoo) on the right shoulder represents its Maori connections in Aotearoa New Zealand. Its motto "Virtute et numine" meaning "By Virtue and Prudence".
