House of Names is a surname product peddler. There is no such thing as a family crest. A crest is part of a coat of arms. Coats of arms do not belong to surnames.
They were and are granted to individual men and are passed down through the direct male line of descent.

Actually there might have been, for instance, 15 different individual named Horner, not all necessarily related, each granted their own coat of arms. Peddlers like House of Names won't have all 15. They don't need to in order to sell to gullible people. Now if the same surname is found in more than one nationality they will have 1 for each, but there might have been 5 in each nationality granted one.
