What do the cards mean?

Question

I know this is an odd question..

But does anyone know what the playing cards mean (hearts, spades, clover, diamonds, queen, king, jester, knight)? Why is it those symbols and those symbols only? Just a little curious.

Answer 1

jck queen king are just 11 12 13 but with people th show that they are high cards. the suits are hearts spades clover or clubs nd diamonds are used to make flushes in games and to divide the deck up

Answer 2

the names, king queen, and jack are ranks, depending on how good they are. the symbols, hearts, clover, diamond, and spades are just to make a deck have four-of-a-kind, and to make it have 52 cards
