The
tinctures within the
arms represent
Denmark. The vessel
(or rowing boat)
represents the name
Stavnsbo. The first
part of the name,
meaning “Fore” is a
reference to the
ancient Stavnbo`s of
the Saga’s and the
second part of the
name “Bo” meaning
Dweller/Occupant etc.
Thus the name of
“Stavnsbo” (Norwegian:
Stavnbo & Swedish:
Stambo).
According to
“Skallegrim`s saga”,
the Stavnsbo´s were
the strongest and most
seasoned warriors, who
occupied the place of
honour, the fore, in
battle.
The
Boars represent
strength “Forte” as in
the motto and the
ancient Stavnsbo´s of
“Skallegrim´s saga”.
The chevron represents
the armiger's maternal
ancestry.
The
motto: “In Forte”
“In/with Strength,
Honour Remains” is a
reminder to remain
strong in our beliefs
and to receive
“Elevation (Gloria) at
the end
(Finis)”.

The
Armiger is of the
Swedish Stavnsbo
family and the Arms
are meant to
distinguish the
Swedish branch from
the Danish. The place
name “Stavnsbo” exists
in three places, the
earliest known record
being 1667. The
earliest known
recorded person
bearing the name is
Marie Rosalie Stavnsbo
who, in 1790, lived at
Gothersgade no. 12,
Copenhagen. However
there is no known link
between the Armiger
and Marie Rosalie
Stavnsbo or the place
names.
The
Arms are also used by
the Armigers son,
Alexander b. 2003,
daughter, Alice b. 2006,
and son, Christian b.
2010.
