The Ungaro Coat of Arms was drawn from an heraldic artist from information
officially recorded in ancient heraldic archives. Documentation for the
Ungaro Coat of Arms design can be found in Crollalanza's Dizionario
Storico-Blasonico. Heraldic artists of old developed their own unique
language to describe an individual Coat of Arms. In their language, the Arms
(sheild) is as follows:
"D'azzurro, all torre al naturale, vomente dalla punta, aperta, finestrata e
murate di nero, accostata da due leoni al naturale, linguati di rosso,
affrontati e controrampanti."
When translated, the Arms description is:
"Blue: a naturally colored tower moving from the base, door and windows
masonned black; on each side a naturally colored lion, tongued red; facing
each other and rampant."
Family mottos are believed to have originated as battle cries in medieval
times. A motto was not recorded with the Ungaro Coat of Arms.
Individual surnames originated for the purpose of more specific
identification. The four primary sources for second names were: occupation,
location, father's name, and personal characteristics. The surname Ungaro
appears to be locational in origin, and is believed to be associated with the
Italians, meaning "one who came from Hungary originally." Different
spellings of the same original surname are a common occurrence. Dictionaries
of surnames indicate probable spelling variations. The most prominent
variations of Ungaro are Ungari, Ungarelli, and Ungaretti.
Information available indicates that in 1971 there were approximately 200
heads of households in the United States with the old and distinguished
Ungaro name. The United States Census Bureau in 1970 estimated that there
were approximately 3.1 persons per household in America which yields an
approximate total of 620 people
in the United States carrying the Ungaro name.
"The source of this information is Halbert's from Bath, Ohio. In 1995, the US Postal Service issued a supplemental cease and desist order prohibiting Halbert's from further use of certain misleading marketing practices. Halbert's has allegedly fabricated information regarding Surnames and Coats of Arms. As such, the above information may or may not be true."

The first time
the surname appears in an official registry is in the early 16 century -
one Luca Ungaro, who was a bombardier from Italy under the employ of the
Universita'.
Re. Ungaro - this seems to be one of many variants of the German, Czech and Jewish ethnic name Unger which described a person from Hungary or with connections to that country. Some other variations include Ungar, Ungermann, Ungerland, Hungerer and Ungerleider.
