The clan crest name is not the translation of the clan name. Example, Neix.adi means people of the Neix, a lake somewhere that their people had originated from. Neix.adi does not mean Eagle, Beaver, and Halibut.
The Neix.adi use the Eagle, Beaver, and Halibut as their main crests. The clan crests were obtained hundreds of years ago, a time when humans, animals and the land were one and respected as equals. The clan crests of all the clans listed below have a history that is shared with their own clan members.
There may be more clans that are not listed.
