Unreferenced date May 2008 Polish clans lang pl Rody differ from most clan systems in that while they are mostly composed of families sharing male line origin there can also be some genealogically unrelated families bearing the same coat of arms and clan name because of a formal adoption upon ennoblement or sometimes because of a misattribution petrified in heraldic literature. This is discussed under the topic of Polish Heraldry . Polish nobility, the szlachta , has its origins in Middle Ages chivalric clan s who provided military support to the king, the dukes, or various overlords. Over the centuries, various families, indeed whole noble classes from other nations, for example Lithuania, have been incorporated into the Polish clan system, by adoption. Exceptions apart, all Polish families belonging to the same noble clan used and continue to use the same coat of arms, sometimes with minor variations of Tincture heraldry tincture . The original Polish word herb encompasses the meanings clan as well as coat of arms simultaneously. Membership in a Polish clan does not always connote consanguinity or even territoriality, as do Scottish clan , but refers to the fact that member families belong to the same heraldic clan. This is why hundreds of different, sometimes unrelated families are to be found within the same clan with all of them being entitled to use the same coat of arms. For this reason, rather than being parallel to the Scottish clan model, the Polish clan system may be considered as being more akin to the Norse clans Scandinavian tt and the Sippe Germanic sippia . Polish coats of arms have their own name, which usually stem from the clan s ancient seat, Battle cry ... that were arranged by clans, which were still a legal, genealogical and social reality.
