Armoiries de Étainhus

De gueules au chevron d'or, maçonné de sable, accompagné en chef de deux coquilles d'or, et en pointe de deux clefs d'argent passées en sautoir; au chef d'or chargé d'un drakkar contourné de sable.

Origin/meaning

The wachevron with bricks refers to the name of the village, which means house of stone. The scallops are the symbol of St. James, the patron saint of Étainhus, the crossed keys the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the Prétot parish.

The chief shows a Viking longboat and refers to the Nordic origin of the settlers and the village.
