===Origin/meaning===
===Origin/meaning===
The name is derived from the delta formed by the rivers Ramboé and Como, which in the arms are symbolised by the azure point. The billets stand for the transportation of timber on the rivers.
The elongated triangle resulting from the partition expresses by its shape and its blue (azure) color of the Estuary cutting into the region. The economic wealth of this region is indicated by the metal (gold).
 
The silver billets symbolize the okoumé logs on the waters of the Estuary.
