Heraldry and the Lunt Surname

Heraldry follows families, not surnames. A Lunt coat of arms, where one exists, belonged to a specific line.

The meaning behind Lunt

The Lunt last name has English roots. Elsdon Smith's dictionary of American family names explains it as “one who came from Lunt”.

That makes it a habitational name, first given to someone from that place. About 3,025 people in the United States were recorded as Lunt in 2010, placing it 10,593 on the national list. Lunt sounds close to Lund, so it can help to search both.
