XONVILLE

Département : Meurthe-et-Moselle

Xonville.jpg

Official blason :
Tiercé en pairle, au 1° de sinople à une rencontre de bœuf d’argent, au 2° d’or à deux fasces de gueules, et au 3° d’azur au lion d’or armé et lampassé de gueules.

Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 2003.

The bull's head is the symbol of St. Luke, the local patron saint. The lion is taken from the arms of Nicolas François De Curel, last Lord of the village. The two bars refer to the roads passing through the village.
