Origin/meaning
The mitre with the names ARNOU and DODA refers to the fact that Dognéville was the chief town of an important territory of the early medieval Kingdom of Austrasia which was ruled by Arnould, a close relative of King Clotaire II. Arnould married Doda, daughter of the Count of Boulogne, and their son Pépin d'Héristal was the great-grandfather of Charlemagne. Arnould subsequently became bishop of Metz, and Doda alone administered the, hence the name Dognéville (from Doda-ville, city of Doda).
The plane indicates the Dognéville airport. The tower and fleur-de-lys are taken from the arms of the city of Épinal.
