English: The central motif of the shield, the upstanding lion, the symbol of authority is heraldically associated with the surnames Blythe, Cassidy and Malone, all key family names in the President’s lineage. The olive branch is derived from the seal of the United States and the white bars or stripes emphasise the American character of the lion. The cross crosslets are traditionally associated with the surname Clinton and the shamrocks commemorate the President’s Irish forebears. The crest is an anchor which bears the Latin word Spes meaning ‘hope’ and this commemorates the President’s place of birth in Arkansas. The motto An leon do bheir an chraobh is from an early Irish saga and may be rendered in English ‘the lion champion who bears away the branch of victory.’
Deutsch: Das zentrale Motiv des Schildes, der aufrecht stehende Löwe, das Symbol der Autorität, ist heraldisch mit den Nachnamen Blythe, Cassidy und Malone verbunden, allesamt wichtige Familiennamen im Stammbaum des Präsidenten. Der Olivenzweig ist vom Siegel der Vereinigten Staaten abgeleitet, und die weißen Balken oder Streifen betonen den amerikanischen Charakter des Löwen. Die Kreuzchen werden traditionell mit dem Nachnamen Clinton in Verbindung gebracht, und die Kleeblätter erinnern an die irischen Vorfahren des Präsidenten. Das Wappen besteht aus einem Anker, der das lateinische Wort Spes für „Hoffnung“ trägt und an den Geburtsort des Präsidenten in Arkansas erinnert. Der Leitspruch „An leon do bheir an chraobh“ stammt aus einer frühen irischen Sage und kann auf Englisch mit „der Löwenkämpfer, der den Siegeszweig trägt“ übersetzt werden. |
