The tryzup is today the small national emblem of Ukraine. However, its historical roots go much further, as the first historical evidence dates back to the time of Rus and was found especially on coins and rulers' signs, so-called tamgas from about 1000 AD onwards, which showed a stylised trident.

There are many legends about the meaning of the tryzup, but it is assumed that it is of Tartar origin and was later used in various forms on the tamgas of the Rurikid dynasty as a sign of power.
