The jack staff on a Navy vessel is essentially a flag pole on the bow of vessel. Unlike the National Ensign (country flag) which flies on the stern flag staff of most ships (on the bridge while underway surfaced on a submarine), the jack staff flies a flag literally called a Jack.
Over the years of Navy history, there have been many Navy Jacks flown from the Jack Staff; the current Jack ("Don't Tread On Me" flag) was ordered flown after the 9/11 attacks, replacing the traditional Jack, which was the field of blue with 50 stars (modern), or in years past, a field of blue with stars for every state in the Union. It is this flag from which the term "Union Jack" comes from.

The Union Jack is so called because it is the Union Flag flown from a jack staff of a ship. If the flag is flown anywhere else it is properly called the Union Flag. The word "Union" refers to the uniting of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to form the United Kingdom.

The term "Union Jack" is not considered correct because a Jack is a flag flown from a ship and British merchant ships fly the Red ensign and the Royal Navy flies the White Ensign. The Official title of the Flag of the United Kingdom is the "Union Flag" and unoffically "British Flag" although this term might be considered controversial in Northern Ireland
