Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on October 25, 1954.

The right shield shows the arms of the Counts (later Dukes) of Ursel, Lords of the manor of Nieuwgoed in the late 18th century. The estate of Nieuwgoed was combined in the early 19th century with Kerhove to the new municipality of Kerkhove.
