Kokand used a single-coloured red flag. Red is a flag color with a great tradition and wide dissemination in the islamic world, from Turkey over Turkestan to the coasts of Arabia, over Zansibar to the Maldives, which stands in dense context to the islam. Red flags had and have all islamic dynasties, which come from the Alawites (Alides, descentants of Ali) like today Morokko or former North Yemen, the Arabian Emirates and Oman. Moreover is red the colour of Omar, the second calif. In the short phase of the independence as an autonomous state was in use a horizontal striped red-blue flag with half-moon and star in the middle, the symbol of Islam but even of the Turks. Red is the traditional flag-colour of the country, blue is the colour of the Turk nations and Tatars.

The name "Kokand" is derived from the same-named town. Sometimes the country was called after the landscape in which it is placed: "Fergana".
