I'm sure this has been posted (mainly because everyone is pasting the same answer) but I can't find it with any search.
Solve Drake's riddle to #Win.
I bear his words, Sic Parvis Magna, and his kin bears me. What am I?

I'm not entirely sure what they're all posting is correct : "The Family Name is what his kin bear"
"Sic Parvis Magna" is obviously Sir Francis Drake's motto / Coat of Arms meaning (literal "Thus great things from small things (come)"). ... and the characters name in the game is Drake.
So ... Im confused ... and can't tell you what to comment with any conviction
I'm leaning towards the answer being "Coat of Arms"

A couple more ideas on what the answer could be - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1000777/synopsisAs he thoughtfully plays with a ring on a cord around his neck, Elena enquires about its significance. Nate reveals the identity of its original owner, and they examine inscriptions on its surface. It features Sir Francis Drake's motto ("Sic parvis magna - "greatness from small beginnings), a date (one day after Drake's supposed death), and a set of coordinates: the exact position of the coffin off the coast of Panama...

"Sic Parvis Magna" appear on Sir Francis Drake's ring and coat of arms. Have amended this post as I agree with the thoughts below. many thanks.0

Well, in the game (Uncharted 3), the slogan is engraved on a ring that Nate steals from a museum at the start and wears around his neck for the duration of the game, so for a literal answer it would be a ring.

It must be the ring, it bears his motto and is worn by Nathan Drake throughout the game0

The winner was a David Hamill with the answer :
"Sir Francis Drake's ring worn around Drake's neck"
Not bumping this for the winner's name, more because I was curious what the actual answer was and figured others might be too.0
