===Official blason===
* (fr) ===Origin/meaning===
The old village of Aumerval was a possession of several families until the French Revolution, first the Bailleul family, who were succeeded by the Counts of [[Horn (Limburg)|Horne]] and through marriage the Princes of Salm. The arms show two horns of the arms of the Counts of Horne in changed colours.

The horseshoe is taken from a local legend. When St.Martin of Tours was running from Bellimont, his horse took a giant leap and landed in the present village, leaving a deep mark of a horseshoe.
