Im not even sure which language this is in, I was at a thrift store looking for a navy pea coat. When I saw a crest on a jacket, this crest looked very nice it sais on it "Kemper Nunquam Non Paratus." Does anyone know what this means?
Thank You
Medaevil Latin, cannot recall the Kemper but "Nunquam Non Paratus" is probably "never unready" or "never unprepared" ( paratus being to ready or make ready, non being not or no and nunquam being never). "Kemper never unprepared." whatever Kemper is, maybe a proper name as it doesn't sound Latin.
Maybe it's Latin for the boy scout motto.

I believe it to be the family motto of Kemper. The text is in latin and translates to something like "Never Unprepared" Hope this satisfies your curiosity.

"Kemper Nunquam Non Paratus."
might be a bad or bastadized spelling os Semper numquam non paratus
latin for 'always never not prepared' although don't trust me too much, its been a year since I've taken latin.
Should be 'always prepared'.
Maybe it's Latin for the boy scout motto.
Actually it's probably so akwardly phrased because Semper Paratus (a;ways ready) was taken. That Kemper does bother me, "K" is not a Latin letter.

K is for Kalends... and pretty much nothing else
