Bus/Financial - Livestock / Animal Husbandry
English term or phrase: Hog Heaven
Hog Heaven
This seems silly but it will be the name of a business so it is important to get it right the first time. There are many names for both of these words for instance the difference between pig, hog, swine, etc. I need to get the phrase correct. Thank you very much for your help!

'Paradise' is ultimately of Persian origin (via Greek > Latin > French > English). In Persian it referred to the vast parks which their monarchs mantained for hunting and other diversions. It did not assume the connotation of 'heaven' until late (Ecclesiastical) Latin. I have provided the rendering in classical (standard) Latin.

The classical pronunication would be approximately KIGH-loom soo-EE-noom or KIGH-loom pawr-KEE-noom.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I have recieved two very different answers: Caelum Suinum and Paradisus Porcorum (paradisus suum). Etymology: Middle English paradis, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin paradisus, from Greek paradeisos, literally, enclosed park. Can you explain the difference?

Asker: I think you are right on the money for what I was looking for. Could I ask you one more thing please? Am I correct in that the pronounciation for Caelum Suinum would be something like ki-lum swee-num?
