According to the Peace of Caltabellota, the Kingdom of Sicily was officially divided into two parts, one of which was the island part of Sicily, officially called the Kingdom of Trinacria, but informally called the Kingdom of Sicily. [1] [2] The name "Trinacria" comes from the island's ancient symbol, Triscele.
It is possible that this usage is related with the Greek name of the island of Sicily, Τρινακρία (Trinacria) ' having three headlands '. [20] The Sicilian triskeles is shown with the head of Medusa at the center. [21] The ancient symbol has been re-introduced in modern flags of Sicily since 1848.
