I wonder to know is there any word which is the antonym of "armiger"?

  • armiger: one entitled to armorial bearings (Webster).

A noble who has not a coat of arms is called a ___

There is a possible heraldic system in ancient Iran. Some nobles in ancient Iran had arms and some of them had not. I need the word to describe those without arms.

  • So you want a word that means "everybody who is not entitled to armorial bearings", in other words, a word that describes probably 99.99% of the world population? Why do you think there should be a word to describe a completely common, normal, default situation that applies in almost all cases as beings "special" because some extremely rare exception does not apply? I would not expect there to be a special word for someone who has two legs, even though there may be a word for someone with only one leg. – oerkelens Aug 13 '15 at 10:03

  • How about "unheralded"? – Hot Licks Sep 12 '15 at 20:57

Are you looking for commoner ?

  • Definition: One of the common people, a person without noble rank or title.

  • Example: The king feared that had Prince Bertil married a commoner, the royal dynasty's survival would be jeopardised

EDIT: response provided before question clarification, i.e. noble without arm

  • In Europe (France for instance), all armigers aren't necessarily noble. Hoxever, some particularities were distinguishing noble and commoner arms. – Graffito Aug 13 '15 at 10:45
  • Yes, I do know. – user64617 Aug 13 '15 at 10:50

    As the arms are considered (in Europe) as one of the main attributes of nobility, I am not sure that the word you are looking for exists in English. – Graffito Aug 13 '15 at 10:55
