Complete news to me too! I too had no clue

How is it pronounced and in what language? I'm assuming German or am I way off?

[Wilgut Spleens]

Nope it's English , at least I presume it is

I must confess I have never heard of it and I am surprised that I have not come across before in my constant reading about heraldry!
