Vairy is a term used in heraldry, which refers to a type of pattern or arrangement of fur in the depiction of an animal or beast. It describes a field divided into numerous small quadrangles or patches, each alternately colored or composed of fur. The patches are typically arranged in a checkered or harlequin-like design, with contrasting colors or types of fur present.
This term is often associated with representations of the tails of a particular animal, known as a vairy, which features the fur pattern described above. The patches may vary in color and type, with commonly used colors including argent (silver), or (gold), gules (red), sable (black), and azure (blue). The vairy pattern is thought to have originated from the depiction of squirrel tails, as some believe that the word "vairy" is derived from the Latin word "vair" meaning squirrel.
In heraldry, vairy is used as a design element in coats of arms to denote a certain lineage, family, or individual. It is considered a variation of the typical depiction of fur, which adds uniqueness and aesthetic appeal to the overall representation. The vairy pattern can be found in various forms of heraldic artwork, such as shields, crests, banners, and other armorial bearings.

The term "vairy" is derived from the Old French word "varie", which means "varied" or "different". It originated from the Latin word "varius", which also means "varied" or "diverse". In heraldry, "vairy" refers to a pattern of alternating rows of small figures or charges, typically shaped like bell-like segments. This pattern resembles the fur of an animal, giving rise to the term "vairy". The word has been used in heraldry since the 14th century and is still in use today when describing a specific type of heraldic pattern.
