Answer
By what popular name, meaning "circle of the sun", is Japan's national flag commonly known?

Correct answer: Hinomaru.

The red disc is the sun, apt for the "Land of the Rising Sun." Although the design is centuries old, Japan only made it the legally official national flag in 1999. (Kyokujitsu, the rising-sun rays, is the separate naval ensign.)
