"Flat land" may be the original meaning of the Italian word Lazio.

Specifically, the Italian word is the name of the central Italian region in which Rome (Roma) the national capital is located. The name comes from the Latin word Latium, as the area inhabited by the Latini, speakers of the ancient Latin language. It is possible that Latium comes from the Latin word latus for the "wide" flat lands of the Latini.

The pronunciation is "LAHT-tsyoh."
