The design is canting as the popular etymology understands the name derived from
"cross" (kryss), i.e. as the place where roads cross. The modern understanding
is that the name Krøderen means "crooked lake". In any case, it is sad that as
seen from Norefjell mountain, Krøderen, with its valleys, may look like a cross.
The choice of colour was to differentiate from other armigers.
