Picard Family crest

The Picard family arms

The Picard family was a predominantly French family, though it also had at least one Spanish member.

The history of this family dated back several centuries. Picard claimed the family could trace its roots back to the time of Charlemagne in the 8th century in western Europe. (TNG: "Journey's End")

When being raised, young Picards are always taught about the great Picards in their history, often to the point of feeling that they have to live up to someone's standards. Some of the more accomplished Picards include the Picard who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, the one who commanded a French warship at the Battle of Trafalgar, or the ones who settled the first Martian colonies. (Star Trek Generations)

The Picard vineyards, located in La Barre, France, were well known for their wine production, notably for their Chateau Picard vintage. There was also some relation to Chateau La Barre. (TNG: "Family", "All Good Things...")

Not many of the Picards were explorers or space-faring people; in fact, Jean-Luc Picard was the first in the family to leave the Sol system. (Star Trek Nemesis)

The Picard line suffered a serious blow in 2371 with the deaths of Robert and his young son, René. Lamenting their deaths, Jean-Luc Picard regretted that, as himself did not create a family, there would be no more Picards. (Star Trek Generations)

The Picard family arms were quarterly, first and fourth Or a lion rampant reversed gules, second and third azure a bend sinister wavy between two estoiles Or.
