The Dutch-American Putman Coat of Arms A boar's head often symbolized hospitality, an inn, or hotel. The Dutch-American Putman family name was originally spelled its name Pootman. Twentieth century historian Wendell Putman write that the Putman family of Dusseldorf, German, in its coat of arms also used boars' heads at the top with hods, or scuttles, at the bottom and writing between.
