The name "Nyon" comes from Celtic "Noviodunum". The ending "-dunum" means fortification, castle or fencing.
Football Club Stade-Nyonnais
FC Stade-Nyonnais is the football club of the Town of Nyon (15,000 inhabitants) in Canton of Vaud (Switzerland). I have seen this flag recently when a friendly match between Olympique de Marseille and Real Zaragossa was organised by this club. Normally, the club played in Switzerland's third division.
The flag is the same as the logo.
