However..."Insignia" (insigne in French)< insignis (Latin).
There is an "n" missing, so the "D'Isigny" - insignia connection might be a bit of a long shot.

More on IsignyAccording to this site: http://www.ancestry.com/search/SurnamePage.aspx?html=b&ln=Disney&sourcecode=13304
Isigny is from the Romano-Gallic personal name Isinius (a Latinized form of Gaulish Isina). I have not been able to trace an etymology for Isina -- a wild guess could be the Goddess Isis, ad with Isidore.

Oh no... then this Disney man is a real headbraker for us... But again the guess is a good one... So, thanks for the expansion Pavlos; And to Mr.Foglai, indeed, we help each other (I'm helped more often than not) but to me it's must to thank if I've given a good answer fast and in time (when I can)... I can't see why this forum is so friendly but the coutnerpart, Behind the Name's forum is not, there I've been treated like a weird blabbering troll... Well, thanks all, Pavlos, Foglai, M.S. and Sagani.
