Justification of
Coat of Arms:
|

Justification of Coat of Arms:
1. The chequered quarter sable and or refers to Brabant, in
extension to the name De Brabandere. In particular to the
great-great-grandparents branch Joos de Brabandere-Scaec
fa (Boudwin Scaec x Beatrysse Craye fa (Triestram x Zoetkin
De Jaeghere)).
The chevronel gules represents Harelbeke/Kortrijk, where the
earliest ancestors (Arend/Arent De Brabandere ° ~1420) were
resident.
2. The eleven rows and eleven squares of the chequered
quarter refer to the 11 children of the prominent ancestors
Joannes De Brabandere - Florentia De Wulf, and also to the
11 children of Hector Debrabandere x Juliana Vanneste:
brothers and sisters and my deceased father Roger
(1923-1988) who died far too early. Eleven also refers to
reconciliation: 11 November a day of
peace. (11 a turning point)
3. The colours or and azure are derived from Kachtem, the
place of residence of our prominent ancestor Joannes De
Brabandere (1685-1761) who lived on the Rhodes estate. He
was mayor of the seigniory of the same name. The wavy,
narrow baston represents the Rhodebeek, a small stream that
cuts right through the middle of the estate.
4. The two modern bundles of ten thunderbolts (for
lighthouses, antennae, clusters), separated by water, refer
to the present generations who are active in electronics and
information technology (cable distribution, communication,
networks, data processing, quality control,...). Wherever
“communication” is important.
5. The motto “... My quest, my efforts...” (Efforts >
engagement > ambition >
the aim ...), alludes to the
individual nature of the applicant family, where a
philosophy of peace and security, communication,
scholarship, inquisitiveness, and assiduous research are
central. |
