The term 'Family Emblem' is used to refer to a symbol that is associated with a particular family. It can be either a totem or a CREST. A totem is an object, usually an animal or plant, that is believed to have spiritual significance and is used as a symbol of a family's identity. A CREST is a heraldic symbol, often featuring a coat of arms, that is used to represent a family's lineage and history. Both totems and crests are used to represent a family's heritage and identity.
