National symbol(s)

Anguilla, the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean, is composed of scrub-covered coral and limestone. Anguilla means “eel” in several Romance languages, and the name is derived from the island’s lengthy shape. The Anguillan coat of arms features three interlocking dolphins, the country’s national symbol, jumping out of seawater. The dolphins represent endurance, unity, and strength, and their circular motion stands for continuity. The white background symbolizes peace and tranquility, while the turquoise-blue base represents the surrounding sea, as well as faith, youth, and hope.:
