The name means 'no place', which is the first indication that the ideal society described may not be endorsed. It gave English a word now used mostly by people who have not read it.

Culture
Utopia is a pun on Greek for 'no place' and 'good place'. Whether More recommends the society he describes — which includes slavery and compulsory labour — is deliberately left unclear, and the word has since lost that ambivalence entirely.
