How do Spaniards feel about their country and ethnicity being named after a tunisian rodent?
The Carthaginian colonists arrived in Iberia in 6th century BCE and they supposedly saw many rabbits in Spain but they mistook rabbits for the north African rock hyrax.
The Phoenician word for hyrax was ʾšpān or i-šaphan (𐤀𐤔𐤐𐤍), meaning “land of hyraxes.”
When the Romans conquered the peninsula in the 2nd century BCE, they borrowed the name from the Carthaginians, In Latin, it became Hispania.
All Spaniards are almost all nationalistic AF, they have a special an autistic zeal and reverence to the name of their country, to know it was named after a rodent who lives in Tunisia surely must cause some mental anguish.

Yes, Spanish has significant North African influence, primarily from Arabic during the 800-year Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula (711-1492 CE). This influence is most evident in:

Vocabulary: About 4,000 Spanish words have Arabic origins, including:

Words with "al-" prefix (the Arabic article): alcalde (mayor), almohada (pillow)
Agricultural terms: aceite (oil), aceituna (olive), azúcar (sugar)
Architecture: alcázar (fortress), azotea (flat roof)
Water-related words: alcantarilla (sewer), acequia (irrigation canal)

Some phonological influences exist as well, such as the Spanish "j" sound developing partly through Arabic contact.

The influence came mainly from Classical Arabic and the local Andalusi Arabic dialect, with some minor contributions from Berber languages of North Africa.
