In Bridge , it ranks lowest out of all four suits (Clubs, Diamonds , Hearts , and Spades ), below Diamonds. It is typically associated with War . Origin and meaning of the symbol The symbol was first used on French Playing Cards , made in Rouen and Lyon in the 15th Century . (Mass produced by the use of Woodcut s.) The French name for the symbol is ''trèfle'' ' Clover '. It is possible that the meaning was to represent a cluster of three Acorn s (a symbol used on older German playing cards) - but the symbol was, however, very early associated with a clover. The English word for the suit is ''clubs''. This is probably a translation of Spanish ''bastos'' 'clubs' - which is the symbol used on old Spanish playing cards. (And still are in Tarot .)
