Stoltenberg (Norwegian family)
Stoltenberg is a Norwegian family.
Various branches of the family have long political traditions. The family may be traced back to Henrich Mogenssen Stoltenberg, who was a churchwarden in Tønsberg.[1] Henrik Monssen was the great-grandfather of Vincent and Jens Stoltenberg, a merchant and a priest, respectively.[1] They have several descendants, among others Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and former Minister of Foreign Affairs Thorvald Stoltenberg.
The name Stoltenberg derives from the village Stoltenberg in present-day Germany. While living as a student in Holstein, one of the Stoltenberg family's ancestors adopted this name.[2]
