The United Kingdom was the first country to issue postage stamps. Since no other country issued stamps at the time, there was no need for the UK to name itself.

Great Britain does not have their name on their postage stamps. They do all have a picture, sometimes small, of the reigning monarch at the time of issue.
The Isle of Mann and the Isle of Jersey and the Isle of Guernsey issue postage stamps.
Most postage stamps have words on them. The name of the country of issue has to appear on the stamp, except for Great Britain.
