The island's original name — Isola Meridionale — was bestowed upon it when it became a colony of the Dallacquan Empire. In [[Staynish]], this translates to "southerly" and refers to its southern position from the Empire. Its current name originates from Lorenzo "Barbanera" Insigne, a famous pirate who lead a clique that wrestled control of the island from the Dallacquans for three centuries.

The name "Barbanera" was only officially adopted by the Dallacquans after the collapse of the Second Empire.

While this meaning has never changed, the way Barbanerans perceive the symbol has. Lorenzo "Barbanera" Insigne purposely continued to use the symbol while his clique administered the island to reclaim it as a symbol for the Barbaneran people. The flag in use under his rule was similar to the civil flag in use today, though these flags often utilized stitched white fabric over
