Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on January 13, 2017.
The rook is a kind of canting element, the name comes from Hugny, which supposedly was derived from Hugues which means intelligence.
The two cockades are those of the RAF; they represent the sacrifice of seven British airmen whose Lancaster plane was shot down by the Germans over Ugny on 27/04/1944.
The wolf's head refers to Saint Loup (loup means wolf) the patron saint of the parish.
The zander supporters are the main fish in the Meuse.
