In 1941 the Meienberg commune changed its name to Sins (but kept the emblem), which is derived
from the old German sind (way, path, footbridge). It alludes to the bridge over the Reuss
river.
The three flowers on the emblem represent a bunch of flowers, which is called Meien in vernacular.
So the emblem was canting with Meien and Berg (mountain)
(source).
