"Vaandel" is related to German "Fahne".
Jan Mertens, Oct 2007
While true, it’s more that "vaandel" derives from "vendel", which was a diminutive form of "vaan". "Vaan", then is related to "Fahne" in German.

The word "vendel" is now usually replaced by "vaandel", but it does still occur on occasion.

Diminutive of "vaan" is "vaandeltje". "Vendel" (no longer in use with a flag meaning) was a diminutive form of "vaan"; "vaandel" derives from "vendel". "Vaan", then is related to "Fahne" in German. What is still in use in Dutch is the diminutive of "vaan": "vaantje", which more or less translates to pennant, in the sense of a sports pennant.
