According to CNET, the actual reason for the name is:
Dorsey confirmed a Bluesky user's speculation that the name ties in to Twitter's bird mascot, the idea being the bird could fly even more freely in an open blue sky.
The only thing I can think of is the Ukraine flag , which I believe represents a field of wheat under a blue sky, such as in this image from Kherson Oblast:
It seems like a stretch to me that the site is named after the Ukrainian flag specifically. The symbolism of blue skies is much more universal than that.

I agree, I'm not convinced the Ukrainian flag has anything to do with it either unless Dorsey said something beyond this that I wasn't aware of.

This makes more sense. Thank you for clarifying
Blue
CurtainsSky Theoryiirc named after the RoC blue sky and sun flag, glorification of the KMT.
Let me know if you manage to find a source that confirms this, would be interesting to know
