General information

Name

The name originally belongs to the river running through the municipality. The Old Norse form of the river name must have been Þotka and it is related to the name of the lake Totak (which it comes from). The river name is probably derived from the Norse word þot meaning "roaring, rushing, or howling".

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 6 February 1987. The arms show a black bear on a gold background. The bear in the arms symbolizes the rich nature in the forests in the municipality. The bear plays a major role in many local legends and stories.[1]
