History

edit

The earliest bearers of the coat of arms settled in Stanisławów (Ruthenian Voivodeship) in 1670. They received indigenate and their Wallachian coat of arms was accepted. Around 1730 Abgar-Soltan, an Armenian merchant, had two sons. One of them, Krzysztof Abgarowicz adopted the coat of arms' name as his surname. Descendants of the other son, Zachariasz, adopted the surname Zachariaszewicz.
