Origin/meaning

The arms were registered in 1985.

The black grouse cock makes these arms canting (hane = rooster), and alludes to the forest Hanveden, which had given the place its name. The anchor stands for the closeness to the sea and the navy base in Berga.

Literature: Nevéus and de Waern, 1992
