“Utopia” was coined by Thomas Moore for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a play on the Greek prefixes “ou” meaning no or not and “eu” meaning good. So a utopia is literally “good place” and “no place” which implies that a utopia is perfect but does not and will not exist.
