==Name and coat of arms==
The [[Old Norse]] form of the city's name was ''Drafn'', and this was originally the name of the inner part of [[Drammensfjord]]. The [[fjord]] is, however, probably named after the river [[Drammenselva]] (Norse ''Drǫfn''), and this again is derived from ''drǫfn'' f '[[wave]]'.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Sproglig-historiske studier|first=Carl Rikard|last=Unger|publisher=H.

The [[motto]] for Bragernes (in [[Latin]]) was ''In Fide Et Justitia Fortitudo'' ({{langx|en|in faith and justice is strength}}), and the items in the seal are referring to this: key = faith, sword = justice, column on rocks = strength.<ref>{{cite web|date=5 July 2006 |title=Kommunevåpen |publisher=Fotw.us |access-date=6 January 2009 |url=http://fotw.us/flags/no-06-02.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090503004129/http://fotw.us/flags/no-06-02.html |archive-date=3 May 2009}}</ref>
