The peninsula is principally divided between Portugal and Spain, comprising most of their territory . It also includes Andorra, and a small part of France along the peninsula's northeastern edge, as well as Gibraltar on its south coast, a small peninsula that forms an overseas territory of the United Kingdom . With an area of approximately 582,000 km (225,000 sq mi), it is the second largest European peninsula, after the Scandinavian . </P> <P> The word Iberia is a noun adapted from the Latin word "Hiberia" originated by the Ancient Greek word Ἰβηρία (Ibēría) by Greek geographers under the rule of the Roman Empire to refer to what is known today in English as the Iberian Peninsula . At that time, the name did not describe a single political entity or a distinct population of people . Strabo's' Iberia' was delineated from Keltikē (Gaul) by the Pyrenees and included the entire land mass southwest (he says "west") of there . The noun "Hiberia" fell into disuse when the Romans decided to call the most western part of the peninsula "Lusitania" (today Portugal) and the remaining territory "Hispania" (modern Spain). With the fall of the Roman Empire and the establishment of the new Castillian language in Spain, the word "Iberia" appeared for the first time in use as a direct' descendant' of the Greek word "Ἰβηρία" and the Roman word "Hiberia". </P>
