from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sigel (order abbreviation) have been documented since the late Middle Ages. Religious branches for women who joined existing old orders usually adopted their sigils. The abbreviation of the order is placed after the name of the order, either the first name or the combination of first and last names.

Modes of representation

There are different traditions in the representation of the abbreviations of the order. In German-speaking countries, the abbreviations of the orders are usually written without a point, as in the standard work "The Orders and Congregations of the Catholic Church" by Max Heimbucher; it is different in the Pontifical Yearbook Annuario Pontificio : there it is consistently represented with a point. Some order abbreviations are not uniformly upper or lower case in German.
