Spanish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Probably a thirteenth-century borrowing from Old Occitanespaignol (compare modern Occitanespanhòl, Catalanespanyol, Portugueseespanhol, Frenchespagnol), from Vulgar Latin*Hispaniolus(“of Spain”)[1], from LatinHispānus, from Hispānia. According to phonetic rules, if inherited from Latin, the Castilian Spanish result would have been *españuelo (though some argue that this did not take root because the suffix -uelo would be perceived as diminutive; more likely, it was simply because there was no need at the time for a common secular name for all the inhabitants of Christian Iberia/Spain, and a common identity as a unified people or entity had not yet been formed. Until then, the people used cristiano(“Christian”) to refer to themselves). The word español was supposedly imported from Provence by a medieval chronicler (it was originally introduced by pilgrims in Santiago) because there was no existing translation of the earlier Roman word Hispani when writing a chronicle of Spanish history, but this was the word Provençal speakers used to refer to the Christian kingdoms of what would later become Spain[2]. In Old Spanish there was also a form españón which disappeared after the first half of the 14th century, possibly derived from a Vulgar Latin *Hispaniōnem[3]. Compare also espanesco, the word Mozarabic speakers used for themselves, presumably from a Vulgar Latin*Hispaniscus.[4]
