Africa meaning in Etymology Dictionary
Latin Africa (terra) "African land, Libya, the Carthaginian area," fem. of adjective Africus, from Afer "an African," a word of uncertain beginning. The Latin term originally was utilized just in reference to the region around modern-day Tunisia; it gradually had been extended towards entire continent. Derivation from Arabic afar "dust, earth" is attractive, however the early day appears to argue against it. The Middle English term ended up being Affrike.
