The region between the hips is called what?

In anatomy, region names reflect the underlying bones or structures. The sacral region designates the area over the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine that sits between the two hip bones. So the space between the hips corresponds to the sacral region. The other terms point to different areas: vertebral relates to the spine bones along the back, scapular to the shoulder blade area, and popliteal to the back of the knee.
