Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Røyrvik farm (historically: Røirviken) since the first Røyrvik Church was built there (in 1828). The first element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "Arctic char". The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "inlet".[4]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 13 December 1985. The official blazon is "Azure, a cross crosslet argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a cross crosslet. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. This design is a common decoration on the pottery, hand-made articles, and traditional pewter embroidery found in the area. These objects were made by the ancestors of the Southern Sámi people presently living in the area. The crosses are a solar symbol indicating the four points of the compass. The arms were designed by Alfhild Vekterli and reworked by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[7][8][9]
