What Wikipedia says

The coat of arms of the city of Turku is based on a medieval seal dating back to 1309. The gothic letter "A" is based on the Latin name of the city, "Aboa". Fleur-de-lis is a symbol often depicted on coats of arms and it symbolises the Virgin Mary, to whom the Turku Cathedral is consecrated to.
