AQUILINA

Listed as Hayculina, this surname can be found on the Militia Roster of 1417. The etymology of this surname derives from the Italian aquila, and means "eagle", with the suffix -ina turning into the diminutive form.

In the Late Middle ages ayculina referred to a specific coin and the term may have been adopted as a replacement for Arabic currency-based names such as Dinari. Other sources may include the Latin aquilum, meaning "dark waters".

Eagles in heraldry refer to boldness and a person of action whilst an or (gold) field means majesty, success, respect and virtue.
