Map of Sweden showing where the Lundblad arms are recorded
The Lundblad arms were recorded in Prusse, c. 1719.
Arms such as these were typically recorded in Stockholm.
Stockholm held the Swedish court and the House of Nobility, where every noble family's arms were entered and kept. Families ennobled for service registered there, which is why so many are recorded around the city.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

How Arms Worked in Sweden
In Sweden, a coat of arms belonged to a noble family as a whole rather than just one individual. These arms were passed down through the generations to all legitimate descendants. Younger branches of the family used the same shield without needing to change it. This system ensured that the entire lineage shared the same identity and status under the law.
Granting authority
The Riddarhuset, or House of Nobility, regulated all noble coats of arms in Sweden under royal authority.
How they got arms
Families received their coats of arms through royal grants of nobility which were then officially registered with the House.
Where arms were recorded
Coats of arms were officially recorded in the Swedish House of Nobility register starting in the year 1626.

Origin & History of the Lundblad Family in Sweden
The surname Lundblad belongs to a group of Swedish names known as ornamental names, which were popular among the educated middle class and clergy during the eighteenth century. These names were typically formed by combining two nature-related words, with "Lund" meaning a small grove or forest and "blad" meaning a leaf. By 1719, records confirm that members of the Lundblad family were already established in Stockholm. During this period, the city was a bustling center of trade and administration, and families with this type of name often held positions as craftsmen, merchants, or civil servants. The name reflects a cultural trend where families chose pleasant, nature-inspired identifiers to distinguish themselves as they moved away from traditional patronymic naming systems. This shift highlights the family’s integration into the urban professional life of Sweden’s capital during the early modern era.
