Spain got its name by the Roman of the Iberian Peninsula which is now modern Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar, Spain and some small parts of southern France.


Romans called this land Hispania, which is an adaptation from Hispanía, a greek name than means "land of rabbits". This name was used by Artemidoro de Éfeso ( I before C.), author of the most important ancient map describing the Roman Hispania.
