👉 The word "Carolina" comes from a word in Greek, "Kanakos," which means "green grass." This term evolved into "Carolina" in the early 16th century as a synonym for North Carolina. The word "Prime" is from the same Latin root. In English usage, it refers to the first-class status or privilege accorded to the United States' wealthiest citizens. It's also often used to refer to a prime minister or president of the U.S.
