Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Switzerland - Schweizer Wappen / Armorial de Suisse |
|
ORVIN
Canton : Bern
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
These are canting arms, which have no relevance to the name of the village. The arms are based on the (wrong) origin of the name : "Ors vin" (Ours, viens ! in French, or Bear, go ! in English). The arms are already known since 1697.
 Variations of the arms in the Kaffee Hag albums 1914-1960 |
