Notes

Clearly a lightly Slavicized Scandinavian patronymic byname:

• Scandinavian Steingrimr with Slavic alternate patryonimic ending.
• Standard period patronymic ending is -ova, without the "n" although -ovna is documented and registerable.
• -ovicha is a nice option for northern Rus, Novgorod style although -ova is most common there (need to verify) and elsewhere in Rus.

Notes on Slavicization:

• The long "i" sound in the German pronunciation of Stein- is a rather alien sound in Russian.
• However, "ei" is pronounced "ay" (as in "way") in Old Norse - https://ordstirr.wordpress.com/language/old-norse-pronunciation/ and others.
• Most of the "Viking Rus" in early Russia were from Sweden, where "Sten-" is the expected form according to the Viking Answer Lady (see below). The "e" in Old Norse is pronounced like the "e" in "bet" (which is just as it would be pronounced in Russian).
• In the 10th c. Rus-Byzantine treaties, see below, "-stein-" is written in Russian as: sten, or stem.
• Ibid, "Grimr" is converted into simple Grim. That this version is acceptible to Slavic tongues is demonstrated by the Slavic name, Grimislav which is documented in Wickenden.

Conclusion: plausible constructed Slavicized paternal name "Stengrim" leading to patronymic byname Stengrimov -> Stengrimova, Stengrimovicha or Stengrimovna. The Russian "e" is pronounced like "eh" or "yeh", not like "ee" and certainly not like the "i" in "bite" (which is actually a diphthong of ah + ee).

Viking Answer Lady:

• Steingrímr - "For the first element Stein- see above. For the second element -grímr see above. GB p. 15 s.n. Steingrímr; FJ pp. 346, 349 s.nn. Stein-, -grímr; CV p. xxxiv s.v. "Pet Names"; CV pp. 216, 591 s.v. gríma, steinn; NR s.n. -stæinn, -grímR"

• • Steinn - "Found both as a personal name and as a by-name in Old Danish and Old Swedish as Sten and in OW.Norse as Steinn. From OW.Norse steinn "stone." As by-name, may reflect place-names in OW.Norse Stein-, -steinn...

• • Grímr, Grími - "Found in Old Danish as Grim (found as a by-name), Old Swedish Grim (found as a by-name), and OW.Norse Grímr. (Instances in Old Danish and Old Swedish by-names may be derived from the OW.Norse adjective grimmr "grim, cruel, atrocious".) Originally a by-name, related to Old Icelandic gríma, "mask", and may refer to a helm which masks the face, also Grímr was one of the names of the god Óðinn. This name is common in Norway and Iceland through the whole medieval period, and is frequent in Denmark and Sweden...

Blazon Information

Device?

Gules, a Ukrainian trident Or and in chief a crescent pendant argent.

• the trident to be the primary charge with the crescent a smaller secondary charge

Gules/Sable, a Ukrainian trident Or.

Household Badge?

Per pale Or and gules, a bear rampant sable maintaining a sword bendwise argent. "I believe a black border around the edge may need to be added (?)"

• Concern: the argent sword is laying on the Or part of the field, which is no longer allowed with the new rule that maintained charges count for difference. Suggest changing the sword tincture to a color, or swapping the tinctures of the field.

Per pale Or and gules, a bear sejant erect sable maintaining a scimitar bendwise sinister proper (gold handle, silver blade) overhead.

• Solves the problem of the silver sword blade on a gold field by putting the sword have on the gold and half on the red. The sword should probably be all silver in case someone wants to fret about the gold handle on a gold field.
