Spain is also wrong (as many others...)

The most accurate would be island or land of saphans (rabbits), as it is shown by some coins with the legend "cuniculosa" (plenty of rabbits)

Hi-sphn-ya, latinized as Hispania (in latin "ph" becomes "p", as it does from greek "phonikiyo" (phoenician) to "punicus".
