The armiger's family origin is Ukrainian, for which his father and grandfather take great pride. The tryzub is an obvious nod to their heritage as is the mantling of Azure and Or.

Tryzub literally means “trident,” a three-toothed thing, and not necessarily a forked spear. According to V. N. Demin’s book Тайны русского народа (Secrets of the Russian People) the tryzub started as a falcon stooping: the outside points are the wings, the middle is the body and tail, the base is the head. Although now used in the Ukrainian coat of arms, this symbol is widely and publicly used to represent the resilience, bravery, and invincibility of the Ukrainian people.
