Editing Aremark (section)

== General information ==
=== Name ===
The [[Norse language|Norse]] form of the name was ''Aramǫrk''. The first element is the [[genitive]] of the name of the lake ''Ari'' (now [[Aremarksjøen]]). (The name of the lake is probably derived from ''ari'' which means "[[eagle]]", thus "eagle lake".) The last element is ''mǫrk'' f 'woodland, borderland' (see [[March (territory)|March]]).

=== Coat-of-arms ===
The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times. They were granted on 7 November 1986.  The arms show two blue-colored [[moose|elk]] on a silver background. The elk was chosen as a symbol because of the large [[forest]]s and the many animals in the area.<ref>{{cite web|author=Norske Kommunevåpen|year=1990|title=Nye kommunevåbener i Norden|url=http://www.ngw.nl/int/nor/a/aremark.htm|access-date=2008-12-13}}</ref>
