Kisiel*** - a family nickname and the noble family coat of arms: the surnames united by the Russian-Polish noble coat of arms "Kisiel". All Polish families belonging to the same noble clan used/use the same coat of arms. Polish original word Herb makes reference to the clan as well to the coat of arms at the same time. Some think the Polish clan does not mean consanguinity nor territoriality, as do the Scottish clan, but only membership in the same warrior group (or a brotherhood of Knights). For that reason, there are hundreds of different families in the same clan and all of them were/are entitled to use the same coat of arms. One of such coats of arms is the coat of arms «Kisiel». Nickname «Kisiel», a type of blancmange containing the juice of various acid fruits such as cranberry. The name is also spelt KISELYOV, KISIEL, KISEL, KISIELEWSKI and KISLANSKI. *** Кисель - фамильное прозвище и дворянский фамильный герб: фамилии, объединенные русско-польским дворянским гербом "Кисель".
