If you are talking aboot the Pirate flags...."Jolly Roger" comes from the French "Joli Rouge" which means "pretty red"...its no person ...if you talk aboot someone else...I have no clue
[edit] By the way this is just one theory the most accepted though.....
[edit2] In the beginning it wasn't the now so well known Black Skull and Bones Flag but just a Red banner......

Each pirate captain had a differently designed Jolly Roger (pirate flag). Often, the flags would show symbols of death and destruction. The name "Jolly Roger" is thought to have originated from a nickname for the devil, "Old Roger". However, it is more likely to have gotten its name from the French word for "pretty red", "Jolie Rouge" as Bardock42 said. The classic design, skull and crossbones, was used to indicate in the captain's log the death of a sailor. It is suggested by experts that this is origin of the actual appearance of the Jolly Roger.
