The suffix "-ia" is commonly used in toponyms to denote land or country. Thus, "Oportia" can be interpreted as "the land of opportunity," symbolizing the commitment of the nation's founders to provide a fertile ground for freedom, growth, and prosperity for the Alexandrian diaspora; in addition to Nouvelle Alexandrie.
