I’ve never been clear on this...

So the Americans came up with the Cosa Nostra term and it was imported to Sicily during a 1956 meeting discussing the formation of the Commission?

Is this meeting about the formation of the Sicilian Mafia commission? Since the US based commission was formed in 1931.

Any idea if one person or particular US family coined the Cosa Nostra term? This term gained popularity in the US in the 1950s from what I’ve read...what did the US based mobsters refer to themselves prior? Honored Society? Or?
