Daimyo-hata (大名旗)
A daimyo was a powerful feudal lord in Japan. A daimyō-hata refers specifically to the massive, striking heraldic banners used by these lords to identify their samurai clans on the battlefield.
The D. in someone's name is something that people took up as their own pirate flag. It is a symbol of their determination, but the meaning of the word D is besides the point, like Luffy said on Drum Island, a flag is a symbol of faith and conviction. It's unbreakable. So that's why people put a flag in their name, to show that they have faith that the dawn will come.
