From Russian автоза́к (avtozák, police van). Named due to the similar colours between the flag and the police vans' blue stripes. Compare Russian автоза́к флаг (avtozák flag).

Genitive ending -у may have been used by analogy with declension of country names (e.g. прапор Бангладешу) or collective nouns (thus meaning flag of all autozaks/police vans).
