The sun in the middle of the flag is el sol de mayo (the sun of May). Named after Argentina’s May revolution, which eventually lead to the nation’s independence from Spain, is also a national emblem. The blue bands may represent the sky, the waters of Argentina’s Rio de la Plata, or the blue used by the Spanish royal house of Bourbon on their coat of arms while the white may represent silver (after a Latin word meaning silver).
