Estonia's modern country name (Eesti) comes from ancient Scandinavians, who called those tribes living in eastern Scandinavia esti. In 98 AD, Tacitus used a slightly different word "aestii" to describe Estonia in his book Germanic Chronicle. Estonians themselves also widely used the national "Eesti", not earlier than19th century.

national flag

Estonia's national flag (Estonian: Eesti lipp) is rectangular, and its length-width ratio is 1 1:7. The flag surface consists of three parallel and equal horizontal rectangles, which are blue, black and white from top to bottom. The normal size of the national flag is 105 × 165 cm. In Estonian, the national flag is usually called "sinimustvalge" (meaning "blue-black-white"), which is called by the distribution of color stripes from top to bottom.

national emblem

The Estonian emblem is based on the emblem of the former Estonian province and Tallinn, the capital. The central pattern is three blue lions on the golden ground. These lions can be traced back to the reign of Denmark in the13rd century. The base of the national emblem is the green branches and leaves of the Nordic oak tree. Estonia's history is an epic against foreign conquest. The Estonian nation has gone through many vicissitudes and has always maintained its unique cultural traditions and national habits. The Estonian emblem is a vivid portrayal of Estonian history and culture.
