The municipality is named after the old name for one of the fjords in the area, but it is not known which one. The name is composed of two parts: flat, which probably means “shallow water”, and angr, which means “fjord or inlet”.The coat-of-arms is from modern times; they were granted in 1990. The arms show three silver chevrons on a green background. The design was chosen to represent the bow of a boat, seen from the front.
