Deutsch: „In Silber (weiß) ein schwarzes Kreuz, belegt mit einem blauen Reichsapfel mit goldenem (gelbem) Kreuz und ebensolchen Beschlägen.“ Das Kreuz sowie die Farben silber und schwarz weisen auf den Erzbischof als Landesherren hin, wohingegen die Deutung des blauen Reichsapfels mit goldenem Kreuz schwieriger ist. Der Reichsapfel könnte einerseits auf das Erbtruchsessenamt des Hauses Wittelsbach deuten, aus welchem Erzbischof Ferdinand stammte, dem Meckenheim die Verleihung der Stadtrechte verdankte. Andererseits könnte es Ausdruck der Verbindung Meckenheims zur bedeutenden rheinischen Adelsfamilie der Ezzonen sein.
English: „The arms were originally granted by the Archbishop of Köln at the granting of city rights in 1636. The cross in the arms is the cross of the State and diocese of Köln. The orb is said to be a symbol for Princess Richeza of the Pfalz, who gave the village to the bishops of Köln in 1056.“
