Best Answer

The Florida flag has a saltire, which by coincidence is similar to the Saint Andrew's cross; there is no direct connection with the saint.

The Saltire was part of the design of the flag of the Spanish Empire which controlled Florida when it was first "discovered" by European explorers.
