Where the Hasz Arms Were Recorded
Map of Italy showing where the Hasz arms are recorded
The Hasz arms were recorded in Dalmatia, c. 1790.
Dalmatia was a string of walled towns along the Adriatic coast, each with its own leading families. Sea trade made them wealthy, and the towns kept lists of the houses entitled to arms.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

How Arms Worked in Italy
In the Italian states, coats of arms were often used by noble families to show their status and history. These symbols were passed down through the generations to all legitimate male descendants. Younger branches of a family usually kept the original design but sometimes added small changes to distinguish their specific line from the main branch.
Granting authority
Various local rulers and city governments controlled the use of coats of arms across the different Italian states.
How they got arms
Families often assumed their own arms or received them as official grants from local lords, popes, or city councils.
Where arms were recorded
Arms were recorded in local city archives or private family books rather than in one single national register.

Recorded among the armigerous families of Dalmatia.
Origin & History of the Hasz Family in Italy
The family name Hasz has deep roots in the coastal region of Dalmatia, where records confirm members of the family were established by 1790. During this period, Dalmatia was a vibrant crossroads of culture under the influence of the Venetian Republic and the later Austrian Empire. Families living in this area often worked as merchants, sailors, or local administrators due to the region's heavy reliance on maritime trade and its strategic position on the Adriatic Sea. The name itself likely evolved from older linguistic patterns common to the diverse ethnic groups living along the Balkan coast. As the family moved through the generations, they adapted to the shifting political borders of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, maintaining their presence in local community life and regional commerce.
