Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 15, 1925.

The arms show the combined arms of the Croy-Renty family (see also Biévène, Fourbechies, Sivry and several others). The estate of Thirimont became a possession of Antoine de Croy in 1453 and the family ruled the estate until 1668.
The arms are based on the 16^th century seal of the local council which showed the arms of Croy-Renty.
