Origin/meaning

The arms are canting for the German name (Mewe, from Möwe=gull). The gull already appears on the oldest seal, dating from the 14^th century. The present composition with the wings upward appear first in the 17^th century. Before that there have been several compositions, but all with gull and fish.
