motto of the United States, which appears on the Great Seal of the United States. "E pluribus unum" means "one out of many" in Latin, referring to the fact that the United States is one nation made from many states.

E pluribus unum translated from Latin, it means "From many, one" or "Out of many, one" (e = out of, from; pluribus = many; unum = one). "E Pluribus Unum" was one of the first national mottos of the United States of America. "E PLURIBUS UNUM" in capital letter spelling, is included on most U.S. currency, with some exceptions to the letter spacing (e.g. the U.S. dime reverse side).
