Etimologie (Engels)
From Usona (acronym of the United States of North America) + -ia. The word is known today primarily due to the writings of Frank Lloyd Wright, who first used it in 1925. However, it was used (and perhaps coined) by James Law in 1903 (see quotation below), before it is thought Wright was exposed to it.
