We cannot establish official documentation for a Steinke Coat of Arms. Documentation for such a design is described in Rietstap Amorial General. The shield is described as "D'agur a une fleur-de-lis de gu., cant d quatre coquille d'arg."

Translated as; "A blue background; a red flower of the lily between four silver shells".

Generally a family motto was associated with a coat of arms. There is none included with this design.

The shield is displayed here on its artistic quality in preference to its unknown heraldic origin.

The Steinke surname seems to be of patronymical origin, meaning descendant of Steink (Stone). Spelling variations of common occurance are Steinick, Steineke, Stoner, Steinecker, and Steinkes. Possibilities unfound are Steinuf, Steinald, Steinuart and Steinken.
