Name
The municipality is named after the Шаблон:Convert long Hustadvika coastline, located in the northern part of the municipality. The name is composed of two parts and it is reminiscent of the name for the former municipality, Hustad, which existed from 1918 until its dissolution in 1964. The first part of the current name comes from the old Hustad farm (Шаблон:Lang-non) since the first Hustad Church was built there. The first element of the farm name comes from the word Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "house". The last element of the farm name is the plural form of Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "place" or "village". The second part of the municipal name is Шаблон:Wikt-lang (Шаблон:Lang-non) which means "bay" or "cove".[5]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on 17 October 2019. The official blazon is "Azure, a plow and fish argent". This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is an artistic design reminiscent of an interlocking fish and plow. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design was chosen to symbolize the two main industries of the municipality: fishing and agriculture. The arms were designed by Madelen Behrendt and Øystein Hauge. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[6]
