==Etymology==
===Name===
The [[Old Norse]] form of the name was ''Húðrimar''. The meaning of the first element ''(Húð)'' is unknown and the last element is the [[plural]] form of ''rimi'' which means "[[ridge]]".{{fact|date=January 2022}}

===Coat-of-arms===
The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times.  They were granted on 2 February 1979.  The arms show two blue wavy lines on a silver background.  This was chosen because the municipality is on a peninsula between two [[fjord]]s: [[Oslofjord]] and [[Drammensfjord]]. At the same time the arms are based on the arms of the [[Ivar Huitfeldt|Huitfeldt]] family, who played a major role in the local history. The family used a single bend as arms.<ref>{{cite web|author=Norske Kommunevåpen|date=1990|title=Nye kommunevåbener i Norden|url=http://www.ngw.nl/int/nor/h/hurum.htm|access-date=2009-01-10}}</ref>
