Best Answer

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

Strictly speaking, "Union Jack" is the correct name only when it is flown from a "Jack Staff". Elsewhere it should be referred to as the "Union Flag".
