Gingins

Per fess Argent a semé of billets Sable overall a semi-lion rampant issuant Sable langued Gules then again Gules two halberds in saltire Argent.
Christopher Southworth

The upper part of the flag of Gingins (semé of billets sable, a semi-lion naissant sable ...) present on a great number of flags is the arms of the Gingins family, who gave the name to the commune. They played an important role in the country and were holder of the seigneury for more than six centuries.
Pascal Gross, 21 September 1999
