Family crest and blazon

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Morone, so the heraldry linked to Moroni is a starting point, not an automatic right.

How the spelling arose

Morone and Moroni differ only in the final vowel; Italian surnames often appear in both a singular and a plural form. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.

322 Americans were listed as Morone in the 2010 census. Morone sounds close to Marrone, so it can help to search both. Get the complete Morone report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
