Significance and Symbolism of the Family Crest
The dominate figure of the Crucifix on the Crest is the emblem which defines the family name.  The word "Cross" in Arabic is "Saleeb". The word "Saleeby" means "Of the Cross", "From the Cross", or "My Cross". This name was given the clan in the early days of Christianity because Saleeby's and Saliba's built many churches.

The Bishop's Crown of the Orthodox Church is symbolic of the religious and political power which was held by the Saleeby Family in Lebanon and Syria for many centuries.

The olive branch is symbolic of peace, and is also the fruit which provided our ancestors much of their daily sustenance.

The Crossed Arabian Swords are symbolic of the courage exhibited by our forefathers as they fought to protect their homes, their families, and their treasured Christian Religion.

 
Guideline
The Saleeby-Saliba Website will not be a platform from which to promote or support any particular political or religious cause or viewpoint over another. Our Motto is "Unity, Patriotism and Love."
