E pluribus unum

E pluribus unum was one of the first national mottos of the United States of America. Translated from Latin, it means "From many, one" or "Out of many, one " (e=out of, from; pluribus=many; unum=one). It referred to the integration of the 13 independent colonies into one united country, and has taken on an additional meaning, given the pluralistic nature of American society from immigration. When the Continental Congress approved this motto for the Great Seal in 1782, they simultaneously approved two other mottos: Annuit Coeptis (God favors our beginning) and Novus Ordo Seclorum (a new order of the ages).

In 1956, "In God We Trust" became the national motto.
