Description

County Laois crest.
Toponomastica: L'attuale nome Laois (da pronunciare nella nostra lingua lish) è il nome gaelico di quella che una volta era la Queen's county ("contea della regina"), e significa letteralmente "chiesa nei pressi della quercia". Da notare che anche le forme anglicizzate Laoighis e Leix sono corrette.
Araldica civica Lo stemma del Laois è uno scudo dorato con un nastro contenente vari elementi distintivi.

la V rossa capovolta (chevronels): rappresenta la catena montuosa delle Slieve Bloom Mountains e la Rock of Dunamaise, mentre i simboli bianchi in essa contenuti rappresentano le 7 tribù antiche locali principali.
le due sfere ondulate (fountains): rappresentano i due fiumi principali della contea, il Nore e il Barrow e i due colori tradizionali e sportivi della contea (bianco-blu)
il leone: l'animale su sfondo dorato era l'emblema degli antichi King of Laois, gli Ó Mordha.

Il nastro invece riporta il motto in gaelico "L bÁirt leis an bpobal" che significa "Insieme con il Popolo".
