From the similarity with Croatian the town name "Kozle" might have meaning "a young goat". That might be the origin of the goats in the COA.

Kędzierzyn-Koźle: in Kędzierzyn-Koźle county in the Opolan region, founded in 13th century but remained a village until 1951. ca. 71.000 inhabitants. Željko Helmer is correct in deriving the Koźle part from the word of 'a young goat'; this is an adjective originally denoting a village of shepherds. German name: Kosel/Kandrzin.
