Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 14, 1956.
The two garbs are taken from the arms of the Lords of Linne, who ruled the village in medieval times. The third garb is replaced by a plough iron as a semi-canting symbol. the -rod part of the name stands for Roding, or cleared forest. This is symbolised by the plough iron.
