I looked in Rietstap's Armorial but could not find a Meulie coat of arms. It looks like a miller's arms. Meulen is the Dutch word for Mill and many people with this name have coat of arms that look like the one you received. According to Rietstap it is indeed the Meulman coat of arms. As your first name Evert is typically Dutch maybe you have Dutch ancestors. Please give me details of the place of origin of the Meulie Family. Maybe I can help.
