In the Hessian dialect, Reckenroth is still called Reckert today. The place name is probably composed of "clearing des Recco". This is symbolically represented in the local coat of arms: a two-part shield in the colors of the Counts of Katzenelnbogenbogen (gold + red), the two lifting hooks as a symbol for clearing the Recco, the bell stands for the Lady Chapel, the lily as a symbol for the patroness Maria.
