HERMÉVILLE-EN-WOËVRE
Département : Meuse
Official blason
- (fr) De sable à la chaîne rompue d'or posée en bande, accompagnée en chef d'un soulier vêtu d’une guêtre d'argent, et en pointe d'une tortue du même.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on October 17, 2017.
The arms show in the upper part a boot with a gaiter. The people of Herméville are nicknamed Waguattes (dirty gaiters), as they arrived muddy at the fairs and markets of Étain after having taken muddy paths. The nicknames attributed to the villagers goes back to the Middle Ages.
The chain refers to Our Lady of Liberty and is placed as a bend based on the bend in the arms of Lorraine.
The lower half shows a turtle, for the Roman God Hermes (Hermé) as a canting element. According to legend he made a lyre out of a tortoise shell.
