Official blazon

(1818) Van lazuur beladen met het beeld van St. Vedast van goud.
(1950) In lazuur een pelikaan met zijne jongen, alles van goud, op een grasgrond van sinopel, het schild getopt met een gravenkroon die overtopt is door een mijter van goud en geplaatst op twee bisschopsstaven van hetzelfde, afgewend en schuingekruist.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 17, 1950.

Nederename historically belonged to Ename and the village always used the same seal as Ename, see there. The arms are thus identical to the arms of Ename.

The previous arms were granted on August 4, 1818

These arms show the local patron saint, St. Vedast in the blue and golden colours of Nassau, as the municipality only send a seal to the Dutch College of Arms in 1818. When no colours were known, the arms were granted in the Dutch national colours.

Literature: Servais, 1955
