The etymology of "Spain" is unknown. Some historians believe it derives from the Punic word for "rabbit," Ispanihad. Other historians note that the ancient Romans called Spain Hesperia ultima, or "the ultimate west." Additionally, the name might derive from the Basque word Ezpanna meaning "edge" or "border." And still yet, some historians claim that the term is from the Phoenician spy, meaning "to forge metal.' #Quotes
