Hazboun

The Hazboun family coat of arms based on a 1958 reproduction attributed to the Hazboun family forebears, who had come from Portugal from the Portuguese Royal Family, as related in Legend 1 of the Hazboun Family History. The coat of arms was attributed to Raphael Hazboun and illustrated by Tatul Sonentz Papzian. The seven branches of the Hazboun family's princely origins are represented by the seven crown jewels, rays, branches, leaves, and fruit on the Olive and Orange trees. Note the Crusader and Saracens swords symbolizing the comingling of European and Arabic bloodlines. The Latin inscription reads “Sol Lucet Omnibus” (The Sun Shines On All Things) to represent that the Hazboun Family is present wherever the sun shines across the world. The graphic letter “H” riding astride the globe further indicates that this famous and prolific family is found in the four corners of the world.

Hazboun (Arabic:حزبون) is the surname of a native Christian family from Bethlehem, a town in the West Bank (Palestine).

The Hazboun family's legendary history is said to have included ancestors from the royal family in Portugal that migrated to The Holy Land (Bethlehem, Palestine) during one of The Crusades. Although the family name predates paper records, church records indicate that the common documented ancestor of the living family, was born in Ottoman Palestine in 1610, was called Sulaiman Hazboun.
