Map of Belgium showing where the Nanduri arms are recorded
The Nanduri arms were recorded in Belgium, c. 1737.
Arms such as these were typically recorded in Brabant.
Brabant lay at the heart of the Low Countries, where the trade routes met. Its towns were wealthy and its landowners many, and both kinds of family kept arms, which is why the region is so heavily represented.
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 Belgium
In Belgium, a coat of arms is considered personal property that is passed down through the male line to legitimate descendants. Families often use the same shield design across generations to show their shared heritage. If a branch of the family wants to change the design, they must apply for an official update to their specific version of the arms.

Origin & History of the Nanduri Family in Belgium
The history of the Nanduri family name is deeply connected to the movement of people across Europe during the eighteenth century. Official records confirm that members of the family were established in the region of Brabant by 1737. At that time, Brabant was a bustling area known for its trade routes and diverse cultural exchanges. Families living in this region often served as merchants or skilled craftspeople who moved between major cities to support the growing economy. The name itself likely evolved as the family integrated into these local communities, adapting to the linguistic shifts of the area. By settling in Brabant during this period, the early Nanduri family became part of a complex social landscape that helped shape the history of the Low Countries.
