Does your national flag have a name?

Question

We have the Union Jack

Americans have the Stars and Stripes

The French have the Drapeau Tricolore

And you have ....

Phatshady - and that's the Cross of St. George in your Avatar's background, is it?

Answer 1

In Scotland, we have the saltire (blue with a white cross) or the rampant lion (yellow background with a red lion). Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Same as yours - Union Flag or Union Jack and the flag of St George for England, of course!

Answer 3

Be careful with "Union Jack".

Yes, I know that the British flag is popularly known as the Union Jack, but that term is true for any country that is a union of states, and the flag is flown from the Jack Staff of a ship!

So as the UK and the US are both unions, and so was the old USSR, their flags are quite correctly known as Union Flags, and Union Jacks when flown from the jackstaff of their ships!

Answer 4

The Blue and White Scottish Flag is called the Saltire and the Red and Yellow Flag is called the Lion Rampant

Answer 5

Its only the Union Jack when on a ship, it's the Union Flag

Answer 6

I'm welsh and i have 'Y Ddraig Goch' (The Red Dragon)
