The arms were officially granted on October 31, 1939.
The bars gemel or pairs of barrulets are from the arms of the De Barri family and the fleurs-de-lis are from the heraldry of Lord Davies of Llandinam. The red dragon is that of Wales.
The ship with the black diamonds on its sail alludes to the coal exported from Barry.
The supporters are derived from those of the Earl of Plymouth.
