Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1977.

The arms show in the upper half a deer, based on the rock carvings in the municipality, but not an actual carving. The original design shows a solar cross, but in the final design the deer was chosen.

The lower half is canting, the name has been explained as meaning 'the bends', and show a bend in the local rivers.

Literature: Nevéus and de Waern, 1992
