heraldn.

Brit.

/ˈhɛrəld/,

/ˈhɛrl̩d/, U.S.

/ˈhɛrəld/

Forms: (Middle English hyraudus), Middle English heraud, heraude, herowd, herowde, herode, (Middle English herrod, herhaud), Middle English herrowd, heroud, herewde, herrold, har(r)awd, har(r)awde, harood, harud, harott, harowed, harrote, harrold, Middle English–1500s herawde, herrald(e, harralde, harhalde, Middle English–1600s herault, harrot, Middle English–1700s herauld, heraulde, 1500s her(e)hault, herehaut, herehaught(e, haraude, haraulde, harald, harrald, harolde, harrolde, harrould, harhodde, harad, harat, haret, harrat, harratt, harotte, 1500s–1600s harolde, heralde, 1600s heralt, heraute, herold, haralt; (Middle English–1500s) 1600s– herald.

Etymology: Middle English heraud, herault, etc., representing Old French heraut, herault, medieval Latin haraldus, heraldus, Italian araldo, Spanish haraldo, heraldo, Old Spanish faraute; a word of uncertain origin, generally conjectured to be from Germanic. Diez suggested as a possible source an Old German *hariwald, *hęriwald, ‘wielder’ or ‘commander of an army’, citing the proper names Chariovaldus, Old Saxon Hariolt, Old Norse Haraldr; but this seems to fail to explain the sense. Others have suggested a possible derivation < Old High German harên, herên to cry, call, which suits the sense better, but involves other difficulties. See Markel, German. elem. in französisch (1887) 62.

a. An officer having the special duty of making royal or state proclamations, and of bearing ceremonial messages between princes or sovereign powers.
