Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - 9mm Parabellum

I was reading a post on another board and there was a saying in latin.  If you want piece prepare for war.  Prepare for war was Pare Bellum in latin.  Is that where the cartrage got its name?

Para Bellum = For War

It got it's name after this motto

Si vis pacem parabellum

Which means so much as

He who wishes for peace prepares for war.
