Stankard Family Name and Heraldry

Long before computers fixed spellings, Stankard and Stannard were used side by side.

The name is generally explained as “A descendant of Stanard (stone, firm)”. The two spellings differ in a small detail: Stankard has “k” where Stannard has “n”. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.
