Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 8, 1986.
The new arms combine the old arms with the arms of Ingooigem (second and third quarter) and Vichte (escutcheon).
The previous arms were granted on June 1st, 1933.
The arms are derived from the arms of the Lords of Hemsrode, who owned the estate of Anzegem for many centuries. The arms are mentioned for the Lords of Hemsrode since the 16th century. St. John Baptist is the patron saint of the village.
