Etymology
nb la Āfrica, the substantivized feminine of la āfricus African, from la Āfer African; member of the Afri + la -icus adjectival suffix. The Latin name originally referred to the region around Carthage in present-day northeastern Tunisia, and subsequently to the Roman province of Africa. It was later extended to the southern coast of the Mediterranean and, by the Middle Ages, to the entire continent.
The ultimate origin of the ethnonym la Āfrī the Afri is uncertain. Proposed explanations connect it with a Phoenician word meaning “dust” or Berber ifri meaning “cave”, but neither derivation is established.
Compare da Afrika, sv Afrika, de Afrika, nl Afrika and en Africa.
