Mosche Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

The spelling Mosche grew out of Mosca, an Italian surname with a long paper trail. Read literally, Mosche points to “a nickname from mosca, "fly"”.

Family crest and blazon

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