[edit] History
Kasper Okińczyc was granted with a noble title by King Jan III Sobieski in 1683, after the Battle of Vienna, together with an estate called Luzinky. He was given also the command over the garrison of the city of Mścisław (modern Mstislav, Belarus), close to the border with Muscovy
The name of the coat of arms stems from Okińczyc's personal nick-name, possibly a Turkish language word aksak meaning lame. Possibly Okińczyc received a wound during the battle and started using the term as his nick-name and later as a name of the symbol of his family.
[edit] Blazon
The blazon exists also with a heart pierced by an arrow, with blood drops.
