Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 3, 1849.
The arms are those as described in the book 'De trofeeën van Brabant' from 1652. These are the arms of the Barony of Duffel, to which Walem historically belonged, and are derived of the arms of the medieval Berthout family. The free quarter supposedly represented the arms of Grimbergen. However, these arms have never historically been used by the Lords of Walem. They do appear though on the late 18th century seal of the village.
In 1844 the local council applied for these above arms, according to the description based on the seal, and with St. Mary as a supporter behind the shield, holding the child Jesus and two palm branches. Nothing was heard and they applied again in 1849. Now the arms were granted, but without the supporter.
The oldest seal of Walem is know from 1415 (but may be dating from the 14th century) and shows the composition of the arms of the Berthout family, with the Madonna supporter. These arms are identical to Duffel and Geel, which were also owned by the family. The free quarter showed the ermine tails, not the bar. A second seal is known from 1560 and shows the same composition.
