The British flag is also known as the 'Union Jack' or 'Union Flag' as it represents the administrative union of three countries that came together, under sovereignty, around 1921. The flag is a combination of three separate flags, that of Great Britain, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
There is controversy as to where the term 'Jack' came from, but the one common denominator is that it stemmed from the Navy.
