 The de Bleuchamp line which Ernst Stavro Blofeld attempts to prove  lineage from, is said to have descended from the town of Augsburg,  Germany. The de Bleuchamp family motto was "Arae et Foci" which  translates as "Of the Air and Soaring". The distinguishing mark of  the de Bleuchamps was that family members did not have ear lobes.  Interestingly, Elektra in the related later James Bond movie  _World Is Not Enough, The (1999)_ (qv) had one ear lobe cut off.
