Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 2010.

The colours refer to the green fields and the blue sky. The wavy bar refers to the Somme river. The arms also include elements of former Lords of Essigny-le-Petit; the hammers of the Mailly family, the garbs from the Chauvent family and the fish from the arms of the Macquerel family. The elements also refer to industry, agriculture and fisheries.

The hot-air balloon refers to the fact that a balloon landed in the village on September 23, 1894.
