Vilalba Coat of Arms, Crest and Name Facts

Many Vilalba families will find their roots under Villalba, the form most records use. At root, the name means “White town”.

Vilalba drops the “l” of Villalba, a simplification that clerks often made. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The same family of names includes Villaalba.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Vilalba, so the heraldry linked to Villalba is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Vilalba family name pack.
