The Rennie Coat of Arms illustrated left was drawn from information officially recorded in ancient heraldic archives. Documentation for the Rennie Coat of Arms can be found in Burke's Gneral Armory. Heraldic artists of own developed their own unique language to describe an individual Coat of Arms. In their language the Arms (shield) is as follows: (translated) Red, two ermine wings in lure, at base of gold stern of a ship of war, thereon a flag flying to the right of the gold staff broken charged with a blue cross and underneath the word 'porcala' in gold letters." Above the shield and helmet is a Crest which is described as: (translation) "The sun in splendour between two flags flying to the exterior, the staves broken as in the shield." No family motto was recorded. The surname appears to be patronymical in origin and is believed to be associated with the Scots, Irish and English, meaning "descendant of Little Ren." Different spellings of the original surname are a common occurance. The most prominent variations are Rene, Renes, Renny, Renies, and Rennies. In 1971 800 heads of households in the U.S. held the Rennie name with approximately a total of 2,480 people in the US carrying the Rennie name. Although the figure seems relatively low, it does not signify the many important contributions that individuals bearing the Rennie name have made to history.
