The Pledge of Allegiance is mainly an US tradition, not found in the majority of other countries, at least not to the extent it exists in other countries. It was originally written by Francis Bellamy, and has been modified four times since then. The latest modification was in 1954.

Why is it called the Pledge of Allegiance?
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."In the United States, when one says the Pledge of Allegiance, a person is literally "pledging" or promising their loyalty or "allegiance", thus it is where the names comes from. An American not only pledges loyalty to his/her state but to the entire United States. Americans say it in front of the US flag, because the flag is the American symbol of the allegiance of each state to the nation as a whole. To say the "Pledge" is also promising your loyalty to your government, recognizing that the United States are one, single undivided nation and pledging to honor and value the liberties given to you by the Constitution.

How is the US different from the republic for which it stands?
Your question is obviously inspired by the famous Pledge of Allegiance:I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,And to the republic for which it stands...To understand these lines you should realize that you are not pledging allegiance both to the US and to the republic for which it stands; you are pledging allegiance to the FLAG of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it (the flag) stands. The United States of America is the republic for which the flag stands. They are the same. So you are asked to be loyal to a flag and to the nation that the flag represents.
