Also, they would realize that 'Hey! That guy has the X families shield and sword!'.

This probably means that the shield and sword could be: Original weapons, which is highly unlikely, as shown when he met Ruby, or they are PAINTED over. Or something like that. His ancestors really did have that shield, but he just painted it over, in order to hide from the public or avoid attention, since he DID fake his transcripts.

Now, he also says the name of his weapon, Crocea Mors. Also most likely another fake name since no one commented on it. So it really should go by a different name. Like it was said earlier by a annon.Just because they heros doesn't mean that there famous.Correct me if I'm wrong but don't most war veterans go unnoticed in history unleast they specificly do something worth mentioning?

And given the world of badass that exist.If would have to be something truely awesome,or a azaming screw up. Also, Jaune's definition of hero doesn't necessary means that his family has been doing great things that involve an entire kingdom. If Team RWBY can go unnoticed after saving the day so many times, it would take a lot to become a famous hero in the world of Remnant. By saying hero, Jaune could have meant that they did something heroic once and were called heroes by the people they saved.

Also, the name of the weapons are not exactly used in the show. The only name that was revealed in the show itself was Ruby's Crescent Rose because Ruby refers to her weapon by the name or just sweetheart. Yet, none of the other characters refer to their weapons by their names, even Yang says Ruby's scythe instead of Crescent Rose. The only reason why a weapon was recognized is because of its design like how Ozpin recognized Crescent Rose as one of the most dangerous weapons in existence. So I don't think that changing the name of his weapon or changing its appearance is of any importance.
