Name, motto, titles

Name of the dynasty: Real Casa di Savoja.

Motto: FERT A motto is a phrase or a short list of words meant to formally describe the general motivation or intention of a social group or organization. ...

The Motto is believed an acronym of

• "Foedere Et Religione Tenemur" (We will be kept together by the [constitutional] pact and by religion)

but others suggest:

• "Fortitudo Eius Rhodum Tenuit" (His [Our Lord's] strength preserved Rhodes) or
• "Fides Est Regni Tutela" (Faith is the protection of the kingdom)
• the proposed origin from "Foemina Erit Ruina Tua" (Woman will be your ruin) is obviously only a satire.

Titles of the Crown at the time of Vittorio Amedeo III: Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations formed from the initial letter or letters of words, such as NATO and XHTML, and are pronounced in a way that is distinct from the full pronunciation of what the letters stand for. ... Satire is a literary technique of writing or art which exposes the follies of its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change. ...
