The Price surname emerges from the rugged heart of Wales, originating as a patronymic contraction of "Ap Rhys," meaning the son of Rhys. As a name deeply rooted in the Celtic tradition of honoring one's lineage, the Price family became inextricably linked with the warrior-princes and landed gentry of the Welsh Marches. This specific design represents the foundational and most historically recurring achievement associated with the name, meticulously documented within the prestigious volumes of Burke’s Peerage and Landed Gentry.

The visual narrative of the shield centers on a field of Gules, a vibrant red that traditionally signifies magnanimity and a fierce warrior’s spirit. Upon this field stands a lion rampant in Argent, a tincture of silver representing peace and sincerity. In heraldry, the lion is the preeminent symbol of royalty and leadership, and its rampant posture—reared back and ready for action—serves as a timeless testament to the family's courage and fierce determination to protect their honor and their land.

Rising above the shield is a crest featuring the silver lion holding a rose slipped proper, an elegant juxtaposition that balances formidable strength with the grace and beauty of the natural world. This is complemented by the family motto, Auxilium meum a Domino, which translates to "My help is from the Lord." Presented in a traditional 19th-century woodcut engraving style, this illustration uses fine detail and pen and ink aesthetics to honor a family history defined by both martial valor and a deep, enduring faith.
