Origin/meaning

The arms were proposed but never officially adopted.

Unfortunately we have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms yet.

If you have any information on the origin or meaning of these arms, or have additional images that you want to share, please mail us your information !

The homelands, and thus the arms, were abolished in 1990 at the independence of Namibia.
