General information
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Lund farm (Old Norse: Lundr), since the first church was built there. The name is identical with the word lundr which means "grove" (but here maybe 'sacred grove'). Before 1889, the name was written "Lunde".
Coat-of-arms
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 14 December 1984. The arms show three joined acorns. The acorns symbolize the many oak trees in the municipality, as well as many toponyms and names of farms, which start with Eik (oak), such as Eik, Eike, and Eikeland.
