Granted 21st July 1949.

The shield combines the arms of two great native Princes of Wales. The three eagles are those of Owain Gwynedd, and the four lions are those of Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf (Llywelyn the Last). The three eagles were also supposedly emblazoned on the banners borne by the men of Caernarvonshire at the Battle of Agincourt.
The crest shows a castle, for the three largest castles in the county, Conway, Criccieth and Caernarvon. Rising from the castle were the "Prince of Wales's feathers".
The sea-dragons, Welsh red dragons terminating in a fishtail, were intended to signify the maritime situation and associations of the County. The base or compartment of rocks, symbolises the coast and mountains of Caernarvonshire.
The motto is a quotation from the Mabinogion, a collection of medieval Welsh manuscripts.
