Shield Azure, a waxing crescent Or.
Meaning:
The municipality's name means "half moon", which is probably derived from Eastern Frisian Halvemaanland (German: Halbes Allmendeland; English: half common land) and afterwards lost in translation. Others say, the name is based on the shape of the municipality like a crescent.
