Well it's sort of below the hip and belly bottom.
It originates from the lumber area of the back and extends to the pelvic iliac rim, the pass around the hip through the sciatic notch to the hip.

How did the iliopsoas get its name?
My assumption is you're talking about the muscle. The iliopsoas is made up of two different muscles; Iliacus (Which got it's name because it attaches to the Iliac Fossa of your pelvic. Ilium meaning "plank or flat" because it is the flat part of your pelvic.) and Psoas Major (Which translates to "Big Loin Muscle"). About halfway down Psoas Major the two attach, eventually sharing the same tendon so the names where joined together. Iliopsoas.
