The flag of Suriname is formed by five horizontal bands of green, white, red, white, and green. There is a large, yellow, five-pointed star centered in the red band. The flag was adopted on November 25, 1975, upon the independence of Suriname. The star represents the unity of all ethnic groups, the red stripe stands for progress and love, the green for hope and fertility, and the white bands for peace and justice.
The name of the country is thought to come from the name of a group called Surinen who lived in the area before the arrival of Europeans. Generally Suriname was known as Dutch Guiana until gaining independence on November 25, 1975. But the name within the country already was Suriname. Suriname is the Dutch spelling and reflects the pronunciation in Dutch as 'syri-nameh'. Surinam is the spelling by the English settlers who founded the first colony at Marshall's Creek along the Suriname River in 1630.
