Traditionally thought to derive from a Phoenician/Punic name *𐤀𐤉𐤔𐤐𐤍 (*ʾyšpn /*ʔī šap̄ān/, literally “island of the hyrax”), with elements equivalent to Hebrew אִי (ʔī, “island”) and שָׁפָן (šap̄ā́n, “hyrax”), where the Phoenicians would have thought the land's many rabbits to resemble hyraxes. This theory had some currency among Roman authors, and may explain why Hispania is depicted with rabbits on some Roman coins. But later scholars have sometimes doubted this interpretation and proposed other possible Phoenician etyma, like *𐤀𐤉 𐤑𐤐𐤍 (*ʾy ṣpn /*ʔī ṣappūn/, literally “island of the north”).

Eadem aestate in Hispania coortum ingens bellum conciente Ilergete Indibili nulla alia de causa quam per admirationem Scipionis contemptu imperatorum aliorum orto: eum superesse unum ducem Romanis ceteris ab Hannibale interfectis.

27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita XXIX.1

During this summer an extensive war broke out in Spain at the instigation of Indibilis, whose sole motive was his intense admiration for Scipio which made him think lightly of other commanders. The people looked upon him as the only general the Romans had left to them, all the others having been killed by Hannibal.

From Ancient Greek Νώρικον (Nṓrikon), from an unknown source predating the Celts' arrival. Said to be a Phrygian or Thracian word, but of unclear meaning.
Robert Ellis (1855) supports a relation to Phrygian νώρικον (nṓrikon, “(wine)skin”), offering the hypothesis that the place derived from the hollowness of the river-valley. For semantic parallel, he cites Welsh cwm (“valley”), which derives from Proto-Indo-European *kumbʰo-, *kumbʰéh₂- (“vessel”).
