THE LEIBBRANDT COAT OF ARMS

This coat of arms was designed with all Leibbrandt's in mind.
(on 25 November 1991 by State Herald Pretoria in order by Douglas Paul Leibbrandt, born in Cape Town, South Africa, 1927).

Detail of the Coat of arms
The flaming sword in the center symbolizes the meaning of the name 'The People of the Burning Sword'. The lions are the Bavarian lions, note the left hand one has two tails. The lion above the helm is in honour of the Leibbrandt spelled Luitprand, a Bishop of Cremona(~ 920-972), the lion of Lombardy. To him we owe a history, and the origin of the name, because the King of Lombardy, Luitprand (713-744 A D) probably went into battle with 'a burning sword'. Read the next section on Page ii , the Leibbrandt's.

The motto ' Ingenuitas' is Latin for ingenuity. Most Leibbrandt's seem to have this quality in abundance.

Legally , the owner and his offspring can use the coat of arms. As the legal owner I have no objection to any true Leibbrandt using my coat of arms. A true Leibbrandt is one born with the surname Leibbrandt.
