SPAIN - LAND OF RABBITS

One only had to go to Wikipedia to find a reference to Spain meaning "land of rabbits."

"It may also be a derivation of the Punic Ispanihad meaning "land of rabbits" or "edge", a reference to Spain's location at the end of the Mediterranean; Roman coins struck in the region from the reign of Hadrian show a female figure with a rabbit at her feet.[6] "

That was a Punic explanation.
