Meaning
Anguilla's flag is a distinctive rectangular design featuring three horizontal bands of white, blue, and white, with an orange saltire (X-shaped cross) overlaid across the entire flag. Within the orange cross sits a white circle containing three dolphins, representing the three main islands of Anguilla and the marine life surrounding this British Overseas Territory. The design is unique among Caribbean flags and was adopted in 1990 when Anguilla gained its own flag following separation from Saint Kitts and Nevis.
This flag appears in conversations about Caribbean travel, island hopping, and beach destinations. It's used to express connection to Anguilla's culture, celebrate national holidays, and in discussions about the British Caribbean territories. Social media users from Anguilla frequently feature it in profile bios and travel-related posts.
The dolphin motif makes this flag particularly distinctive and memorable compared to other Caribbean nations. You'll encounter it less frequently in mainstream messaging than larger island nation flags, but it holds special significance within Caribbean and island communities online.
Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 2.0 in 2015, Anguilla's flag is now standardized across digital platforms worldwide.
