Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on November 9, 2022.
The two knives or scythes refer to the etymology of the names Nonsard and Has (former name of Lamarche). Nonsard derives from Novum Sartum (in 745), newly cleared land. Lamarche was designated Has until 1725 (first listed as Hadina in 812). Has could be related to Germanic Hasa, brushwood.
The sailboat symbolizes the activities organized on Lake Madine. The dove is the symbol of Saint Epvre to whom the church of Nonsard is dedicated (a dove would have flown up to the sky, at the moment of its death). The oak leaf represents the local forests.
The mural crown represents the castle of Lamarche. The ears of wheat symbolize the agricultural activities of the village.
