Missouri gets its name from a tribe of Sioux Indians of the state called the Missouris. The word "Missouri" often has been construed to mean "muddy water" but the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology has stated it means "town of the large canoes," and authorities have said the Indian syllables from which the word comes mean "wooden canoe people" or "he of the big canoe."

"Vox populi, vox dei" is a Latin phrase that translates to "the voice of the people is the voice of God" in English. It suggests that the collective opinion or sentiment of the populace reflects a higher moral authority or truth. Often used in political and social contexts, the phrase implies that democratic principles should be respected, as the will of the people is seen as divinely inspired or inherently valid.
pop comes from the word populi meaning people in Latin
This motto (L. Salus populi suprema lex esto) means that no one individual's desires or well-being shall be put above the good of the community as a whole. This is Missouri's state motto, so it may be assumed that this was written in the interest of the state as the size of the community, though this could potentially be attached to any size population. Most altruistically, following such a motto as a societal tenant would disallow poverty, greed, etc. Everyone would live in as much of an ideal to their desired station and capacity in life as would be of mutual benefit to the society entire. Taken to it's extreme though, each individual would be assigned a value in their society and if their existence was detrimental to the society as a whole compared to their absence from it, they would be removed.
"Salus Per Aquam" is a Latin phrase that translates to "health through water."
