The name Lady Violette de Courcy means Violet of the Heart.

It is interesting to note that the violet plant has both a beautiful flower and a cordate leaf in the shape of a green velvet heart!

Thus Lady Violette de Courcy  has chosen the image of the Violet Flower and the Heart-Shaped Violet Leaf for her personal family crest.

What’s in a name?

I am asked, “How did you get the name?” Well, I made it up!   And, “Why the name, Lady Violette de Courcy?”  I wanted something to do with flowers and something colorful, thus Violette. And something loving and romantic, thus de Courcy which means, literally in French, of the heart. The entire name translates to Violet of the Heart.
