Is There a Whiteing Coat of Arms?

Whiteing and Whiting are two spellings with one history. Read literally, Whiteing points to “son of the fair one”.

Heraldry and the Whiteing name

There is no single Whiteing family crest for every bearer. Herald Lab researches the arms historically associated with the name and explains whose they were.

How the spelling arose

Whiteing adds “e” to Whiting, a small change that crept in as the name was written down. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. Other spellings include Whitting and Whyting.
