SCHEMBRI

Dating back to 1417 and potentially the Italo-Greek name Schembari (itself from the Greek name Skèmpres) a noble family with grounds near the city of Messina, Sicily.


It could also be connected to Sigambri, a Latin name given to a germanic tribe. However, evidence also shows that this surname may derive from the Arabic name Schamber.


In heraldry, it is represented by a deer atop a tower, the former reflects nobility whilst the latter represents strength.
