The book "Apellidos Catalanes. Heraldica de Cataluna" by Augusto Cuartas, where the history and heraldry of the name Ast appears, describes Catalan lineages and family names, such as name Ast. Covers the birthplace of the name Ast, its derivatives, historical and etymological origin, as well as many other data of interest of the family name Ast that justify its origin. All this as a result of the work of an expert in HERALDRY that has unraveled the historical and heraldic archives during a patient research work on the last names, lineages and heraldry of Catalonia.

One of the most distinctive qualities of heraldry is the use of a limited palette of colours and patterns, usually referred to as tinctures. These are divided into three categories, known as metals, colours, and furs.

Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:

1) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

2) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

3) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* HEART: The Heart is a symbol of Vigilant Vassal. In its fiery color, it demonstrates Warmth of mind and loving expression of Affection.

* KNIGHT: The Knight symbolizes the Nobility.

* GYRON: The Gyron represents Favor.

* MALLET: The Mallet indicates War for the damage that it can cause to armor.

* ERMINE: The Ermines symbolize Purity and Fidelity placed at the service of the Prince.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* PIGEON: The Pigeon is a symbol of Health; in the coat of arms it denotes Fidelity and Love. It is the emblem of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity and, as such, adorns the currency of the French Order of the Holy Spirit.
