The design cants the municipal name but there were always much of those in the
mountains around. However, name has nothing to do with reindeer, but comes from
the Rena river. Two heads were chosen to differentiate from other municipal arms
using reindeer, but are interpreted as symbols for two previous municipalities
of Ytre Rendal and Øvre Rendal.
