Symbolism: The white beech tree serves as a canting symbol directly alluding to the municipality's name (Bukovany, from 'buk' meaning beech). The red and blue colors are derived from the municipal coat of arms, where the red base features vinicultural implements representing the local winemaking and agrarian tradition.
