The term CLAN DESIGN is composed of four words: TARTAN (6 letters), AYLA (4 letters), TOTEM (5 letters), and SEPTS (5 letters). TARTAN is a patterned cloth, usually made of wool, which is associated with particular Scottish clans. Ayla is a female given name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'oak tree'. Totem is an object, such as an animal or plant, that serves as an emblem for a family or clan. SEPTS are families or clans that are related to a larger clan. Together, these four words represent the design elements of a clan, from the patterns of their clothing to the symbols they use to identify themselves.
