General information
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Spydeberg farm (Template:Langx), since the first church was built here. The first element is the plural genitive case of Script error: No such module "Lang". which means 'spear' and the last element is Script error: No such module "Lang". which means 'mountain'. The word 'spear' is here probably referring to some outstanding points of a nearby mountain.
Coat-of-arms
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 30 June 1978. The arms show three canting silver spear points (from the word Script error: No such module "Lang". which comes from the Old Norse word Script error: No such module "Lang".) on a red background. The model for the spear points was unearthed at a burial mound near Mørk in 1905. The three spears represent the three parishes in the municipality. It was designed by Truls Nygaard.[1][2]
