 ===Origin/meaning===
-Unfortunately I have no information on the background of these arms. [[Contact|Any information is welcome]].
+The arms are those of the historical [[Poitou]] region in which the département is situated, with the addition of two wavy bars for the Sèvre Nantaise and Sèvre Niortaise rivers, which gave the département its name.
