MULTIA
Region : Keski-Suomi
Former province : 1997-2009 Länsi-Suomi, 1960-1997 Keski-Suomi
Official blazon
Mustassa kentässä kultainen muurahainen.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 26, 1963.
The arms show a golden ant, which is based on the nickname of the inhabitants of the town : Multian keltiäiset, which can be translated as the yellow Multians (keltainen=gold) or the Multian ants (the keltiäinen is a yellowish small species of ants).
I also received the following statement by mail : "The saying "Multian keltiäiset" has yet another tone: the Multians tend to "sting" verbally in their normal small talk".
