Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 26, 1950.

The main charge is a symbolised royal burial mound from the Bronze Age, which can be found in the municipality. The base refers to the many rivers, especially the Eurajoki river, that run through the municipality. The wheat ears are a symbol for the agricultural character of the area.
