Etymology
The word Spain comes from the old Roman name Hispania, which itself probably comes from a Phoenician phrase meaning 'land of rabbits' or 'island of rabbits'. A helpful way to remember this is to picture rabbits across the country, and you can see the same root in Hispanic, which means 'from Spain'.
