Sit Nominae Digna (Latin: "May She be Worthy of the Name") is a latin phrase that was used as the national motto of Southern Rhodesia and later Rhodesia. It was a reference to Cecil Rhodes for whom Rhodesia was named. It came about following a suggestion by Sir Owen Scamer, the editior of Punch to Sir Francis Newton when he was designing the Coat of Arms of Southern Rhodesia.
