About the place: Lónya is a village in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County in northeastern Hungary, located in close proximity to the Ukrainian border. The village lies in the flat landscape of the Upper Tisza region and is known for its rich history and rural character.

Flag Description: A rectangular flag featuring a white field centered with the complete municipal coat of arms. The emblem consists of a blue shield with a green base, from which a silver hand emerges holding a vertically raised sword. Flanking the sword are two golden lions facing each other—the left lion (heraldic right) holds ears of grain, while the right lion (heraldic left) holds a raised sabre. The shield is crowned with a silver helmet and a gold coronet, flanked by red and gold mantling. Below the shield, a white ribbon displays the black uppercase inscription 'LÓNYA'.

Symbolism: The white field of the flag emphasizes purity and local tradition. The centered coat of arms of Lónya refers to the noble Lónyay family, who shaped the village's history for centuries. The sword, sabre, and lions symbolize bravery, territorial defense, and the region's military history, while the ears of grain represent the agricultural heritage and fertility of the land.
