UTOPIAN derives from "Utopia," coined by Sir Thomas More in 1516 for his book about an ideal island society. More created it from Greek "ou" (not) + "topos" (place), literally meaning "no-place" - a clever pun also suggesting "eu-topos" (good place). The -ian suffix was added to create the adjective form.
