===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The Thierrens council decided in 1923 to adopt arms. As no historical seals or arms were known, a contest was launched and 13 projects were entered. | |||
The current arms were the winning design. The dog is taken as a symbol for the nickname of the villagers (the 'chiens', or dogs). The bordure nebuly is taken from the arms of the Lords of Grandson-Belmont, who owned Thierrens until the fourteenth century. | |||
