Where did the Scottish Reakes family come from? What is the Scottish Reakes family crest and coat of arms? When did the Reakes family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Reakes family history? Spelling variations of this family name include: Reekie, Reikie, Rikie, Reky and others. First found in Aberdeenshire, where they held a family seat in their territories. The Pictish influence on Scottish history diminished after Kenneth Macalpine became King of all Scotland. But those east coast families still played an important role in government and were more accessible to Government than their western highland counterparts. Allegiances were important to Scottish middle age survival. They held a family seat at the lands of Reikie near Alford in Aberdeen. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Reakes research.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: George Reekie, who came to Ontario in 1848; Alexander Reekie, who settled in Detroit in 1861; John Reekie, who arrived in Ontario in 1848; and William Reekie, who settled in Philadelphia in 1808.. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Reviresco Motto Translation: I flourish again.

We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 23 September 2010 at 15:39. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
