The pirate flag is called the Jolly Roger because "Jolly Roger" is a generic name for the flags flown to identify a pirate ship about to attack. The origin of the term is unknown, but it may have come from the French "joli rouge", meaning "pretty red", referring to the red flags pirates often used.
