The arms show the medieval arms of the counts of Hainaut, as the village and estate of Leke belonged to the counts of Vlaanderen-Henegouwen (Hainaut) from 1191-1270. To differentiate the arms a silver free quarter was added. These arms were mentioned for the village on a map of the [[Vrije van Brugge]] region from the 16<sup>th</sup> century. | The arms show the medieval arms of the counts of [[Hainaut]], as the village and estate of Leke belonged to the counts of Vlaanderen-Henegouwen (Hainaut) from 1191-1270.

However, there are two additional arms found for the village in the 17th and 18<sup>th</sup> century. A 17<sup>th</sup> century document shows a blue shield with three shells and a chief with the old arms of Vlaanderen. The local seal of the council in the 18<sup>th</sup> century showed a shield with a cross (no colours known). The meaning of both arms is not known. | However, there are two additional arms found for the village in the 17th and 18<sup>th</sup> century.
