The coat-of-arms of the settlement is a reference to the nobiliary characteristics of the village. The wavy bend argent recalls the brook Szuha and thus it is an emblem of the settlement’s natural environment. The central charges, the three ears of corn, the ploughshare and the coulter – charges in the settlement’s old seal as well - are emblems, which signify the historical past of the settlement’s local government as well as Zádorfalva’s rural characteristics.. The eagle as crest is a reminder of the one-time Gömör County and its coat-of-arms. The stars refer to those ancient parts of the settlement, from which present-day Zádorfalva came into being.
