Design: Arms devised by The Armorial Register Limited.

The crest of a monkey with a five-point star comes from a monkey being referenced multiple times in the family archives; the star is that illustrated in the Chilean coat of arms. The chevron represents the Swiss mountains where the armiger’s children are now growing up. The three birch trees represent Sweden as it is the national tree. The armiger’s children also have the name Birke meaning birch, in their full name. The three crowns represent Nils(son) meaning victory of the people. It also acts as a reference to the armiger’s great-grandfather whose name was Nils Henrik. Henrik meaning ruler of the home.
