Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 16, 1961.

The feather pens refer to Daniel Juslenius (1676-1752), born in Mietoinen, Bishop of Porvoo, later in Skara, researcher, writer and convinced Finnish patriot, who made in 1745 the first dictionary of the Finnish language.

Since 2007 the arms are used by Mynämäki.
