Etymology

The origin of the word "Hispania" is much disputed and the evidence for the various speculations are based merely upon what are at best mere resemblances, likely to be accidental, and suspect supporting evidence.

One theory holds it to be of Punic derivation, from the Phoenician language of colonizing Carthage. Specifically, it may derive from a Punic cognate "i shapan" of Hebrew "i shafan" meaning "island of the hyrax" or "island of the hare" or "island of the rabbit" (Phoenician-Punic and Hebrew are both Canaanite languages and therefore closely related to each other).

Some Roman coins of the Emperor Hadrian, born in Hispania, depict Hispania and a rabbit. Others derive the word from Phoenician "span", meaning "hidden", and make it indicate "a hidden", that is, "a remote", or "far-distant land".

Another theory, proposed by the etymologist Eric Partridge in his work Origins, is that it is of Iberian derivation and that it is to be found in the pre-Roman name for Seville, "Hispalis", which strongly hints at an ancient name for the country of "*Hispa", an Iberian or Celtic root whose meaning is now lost.

Isidore of Sevilla considered Hispania derived from "Hispalis". "Hispalis" may alternatively derive from "Heliopolis" (Greek for "city of the sun").

According to Manuel Pellicer Catalán, the name derives from Phoenician "Spal" "lowland", rendering this explanation of Hispania dubious.

Occasionally Hispania was called "Hesperia Ultima", "the last western land" in Greek, by Roman writers, since the name "Hesperia" had already been used by the Greeks to indicate the Italian peninsula.

Another theory holds that the name derives from "Ezpanna", the Basque word for "border" or "edge", thus meaning the farthest area or place.

During Antiquity and Middle Ages, the literary texts derive the term "Hispania" from an eponymous hero named "Hispan", who is mentioned for the first time in the work of the Roman historian Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus, in the 1st century BC.

Although "Hispania" is the Latin root for the modern name "Spain", substituting "Spanish" for "Hispanicus" or "Hispanic", or "Spain" for "Hispania", should be done carefully and taking into account the correct context. "The Estoria de España" ("The History of Spain") written on the initiative of Alfonso X of Castile "El Sabio" ("the Wise"), between 1260 and 1274, during the Reconquest of Spain, is believed to be the first extended history of Spain in Old Spanish using the words "España" ("Spain") and "Españoles"("Spaniards") to refer to "Medieval Hispania". The use of Latin "Hispania", Castilian "España", Catalan "Espanya" and French "Espaigne", between others, to refer to "Roman Hispania" or "Visigothic Hispania" was common throughout all the Late Middle Ages. A document dated 1292 mentions the names of foreigners from Medieval Spain as "Gracien d'Espaigne". Latin expressions using "Hispania" or "Hispaniae" like "omnes reges Hispaniae" are used often in the Middle Ages at the same time as the emerging Spain Romance languages during the Reconquista use the Romance version interchangeably.

In James Ist Chronicle Llibre dels fets, written between 1208 and 1276, there are many instances of this: when it talks about the different Kings, "los V regnes de Espanya" ("The 5 Kingdoms of Spain"); when it talks about a military fort built by the Christians saying that it is "de los meylors de Espanya" ("from the best of Spain"); when it declared that Catalonia, one of the integral parts of the Crown of Aragon, is "lo meylor Regne Despanya, el pus honrat, el pus noble" ("the best kingdom of Spain, the most honest, the most noble"); when it talks about the conflict that has existed for long "entre los sarrains e los chrestians, en Espanya" ("between Saracens and Christians, in Spain") Since the borders of modern Spain do not coincide with those of the Roman province of Hispania or of the Visigothic Kingdom, it is important to understand the context of medieval Spain versus modern Spain. The Latin term "Hispania", often used during Antiquity and the Low Middle Ages as a geographical name, starts to be used also with political connotations, as shown in the expression "Laus Hispaniae" ("Praise to Hispania") to describe the history of the peoples of the Iberian Peninsula of Isidore of Seville's "Historia de regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorum".:
