Alabama State Motto"Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere" (Official)The English translation of the Alabama state motto: "We Dare Defend our Rights" or "We Dare Maintain our Rights" is derived from a poem by 18th century author Sir William Jones: Marie Bankhead Owen, Director of the “Alabama Department of Archives and History” was the one who came up with the idea of using Sir William Jones' poems as inspiration for the Alabama state motto when she was searching for an appropriate design for the Alabama coat-of-arms. Contrary to many Latin mottos this Alabama state motto did not start out as Latin but initially came about in the English language ("We Dare Defend our Rights"), then was later translated into the Latin motto: "Audemus jura nostra defendere" by W. B. Saffold, a Professor at the University of Alabama. The Alabama state motto may be said to reflect justice, freedom and independence - values that the Alabama state motto share with many other U.S. state mottos.
