Sombreros originated in Mexico. Peasant sombreros are usually made of straw, while wealthier Hispanics tend to wear sombreros made of felt. American cowboys later *adopted* the sombrero,
and modified it into the cowboy hat.
The word most likely derives from the Spanish word sombra, meaning "shade" or "shadow." The English word "sombrero" is a loan word from Spanish, where the term is used to refer to any hat with a brim. Many Spanish speakers refer to what we call a sombrero as a "Mexican hat" = sombrero mexicano.

"Sombrero," is the Spanish word for 'hat.' As far as I know, every nation wears somekind of hat. Sombrero itself would be typical to the Spanish-speaking world, Mexico being the closest to us. The word is also often used in south Texas.
