Coat of Arms
The name Loyola is derived from the Spanish Lobo-y-olla, meaning wolf and kettle. The School's crest is a variation of St. Ignatius of Loyola's coat of arms which depicts the union of the House of Loyola (represented by the two wolves and kettle) and the House of Onaz (represented by the seven red bars on a field of gold) in 1261. The phrase Loyola y Onaz typically appears at the bottom; though another variation of the School's crest includes the Jesuit motto Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam meaning for the greater glory of God.
