Geysztor or Gieysztor is a Polish coat of arms. It was used by several Szlachta families in the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
History
The name goes back to the year 1582 and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. There are two branches of the family. One is spelled Geysztor (in the south), the other Gieysztor (in the north). The schism occurred about two hundred years later (when the family started feuding).
Blazon
The Red field (warrior or martyr; military strength and magnanimity) means that the forefather was elevated to dukedom in battle (a blue background would have meant for administrative excellence).
The stars represent celestial goodness, a noble person and excellence.
