Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted on March 12, 1996.

The arms are devised by a member of the local council, deriving the name Febvin from fève, or broad bean. The horseshoe, or fer à cheval, was also considered a possibility. He thus combined the two symbols, which, at the same time, are two symbols for the agricultural character of the municipality. The bordure with the 11 bezants symbolises the 11 hamlets in the municipality.

Literature : Bréemersch et al., 1996.
