Le parola "laconic"—parlante de maniera brusc e concise—es derivate del nomine de iste region, un referencia al ancian Spartanos qui esseva famose pro lor austeritate verbal. Un anecdota traditional conta del menacia de invasion per Philippo de Macedonia, (patre de Alexandro Magne), qui diceva "si io intra in Laconia, io rasara Sparta completemente" al qual le Spartanos respondeva con le sol parola "'si.'"
