Among the families bearing this coat of arms, is the OKINCZYC family. Their coat of arms is a bit different as the central part pierced by the arrow in OKINCZYC's coat of arms (also called in Polish "herb")is a heart.

For people's information, the word AKSAK has nothing to see with Polish or Lithuanian languages. It seems it comes from Turkish language. In Turkish, it would have two meanings "white" or also "lame" (for a person).

It seems the first person to receive this coat of arms was Kasper "Aksak" Okinczyc who was given an estate and the command of Mcislav town and of the next border by Polish King Jan Sobieski III in 1683.

We can imagine Kasper as a soldier who may have well served his king against the Turks in various battles and therefore would have deserved such an award. And these fights against Turks is were he may have been given his nick name by his enemies (maybe being wounded and becoming lame, or maybe just because of a clearer skin and a fairer hair than they had?).

A nick name which became then the name of his coat of arms.
