| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| The arms were granted on April 14, 1897 and confirmed in 1972.
| |
| | |
| The two dolphins have a lengthy history in the town of Brighton, the origin of which can not now easily be traced. The Commissioners of Brighton (the Local Government Body during the first half of the l9th Century) used the device of two dolphins in their seal. It is now a matter of speculation whether the dolphins were adopted because of the town's association with the sea or because they had adopted the emblem of one of the leading families in the town. Both the Scrase family (who were associated with the Manor of Brighton and represented amongst the Commissioners), and the Lashmar family (one of whose members was High Constable in 1799) bore dolphins on their arms.
| |
| | |
| The blue border with the six martlets is derived from the arms of the County Sussex (see [[East Sussex]] and [[West Sussex]]).
| |
| | |
| The crest shows again the two dolphins, together with two branches of coral, a reference to the sea and the local climate.
| |
| | |
| The motto means "We trust in God".
