Chevronel

/ˌʃɛvrəˈnɛl/ noun

Definition

A heraldic charge consisting of two thin chevrons placed side by side, creating a double V-shaped pattern.

Etymology

From 'chevron' with the diminutive suffix '-el,' used in heraldry to describe a smaller or doubled version of a regular chevron.

Kelly Says

Heraldry has incredibly specific names for tiny design variations—'chevronel' is like saying 'little double chevron,' and medieval heralds could tell an entire family's lineage just by the tiny details in their coat of arms!
