What is the Greenlandic name of Greenland's flag?

The Greenlandic name of Greenland’s flag is Erfalasorput.

The word means “our flag” in Greenlandic, the language also known as Kalaallisut. A second nickname, Aappalaartoq, meaning “the red,” is also used, but Erfalasorput is the flag’s familiar local name and the canonical answer to this question.

Greenland officially adopted the flag on 21 June 1985, its national day. Designed by Greenlandic politician Thue Christiansen, it uses white and red horizontal bands with an offset red-and-white disk. The disk is commonly interpreted as a sun setting over the sea, with the white portion suggesting ice and the red portion suggesting the ocean and warmth.

Unlike the flags of Denmark and the Faroe Islands, Greenland’s flag does not use a Nordic cross. Its colours still echo Denmark’s national colours, reflecting Greenland’s constitutional relationship with the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenlanders may display Erfalasorput alongside the Danish Dannebrog.
