13. Origin of Name: "Molossia" is a corruption of the Spanish word "morro", which means small rock or small hill, the suffix "ssia" being a standard place suffix. The name derives from the Spanish heritage of the Southwestern United States, and may refer to Helicopter Rock in the Back Forty or less specifically to the hills that are just outside the boundary of modern Molossia. The name "morro" may have been given to the area by the famous Loco-Cabeza Expedition which quite possibly passed through Molossia in the late 18th century, on their way to someplace else.
