The "Stars and Bars" is the common name for the first national flag of the Confederate States of America (CSA) dating from March 1861. The seven (7) stars in a circle represented the seven (7) states that seceded from the United States of America (USA). Eventually there were eleven (11) states that seceded and two (2) border states that actually had representatives in both the USA and CSA legislatures. Counting those border states gave the stars and bars a final ring of thirteen (13) stars.

What is the nick name for the confederate flag?

This is actually the the confederate battle flag. The "crossed stars" is still incorporated in flags of a few southern states (Georgia and Mississippi maybe more). The official flag of the Confederate states of America changed many times in its short life. The Stars and Bars is the a common nickname, but this is the name of the actual confederate flag that did not have the crossed star pattern at all. The "crossed stars" design is sometimes called the "rebel," "southern cross" or "Dixie" flag. The final official flag of the confederate states, "The Bloodstained Banner," did have the "crossed star" design in the upper right corner.
