Nubia

nubia Núbia English Etymology The origin of this word is contested. At root it is probably a geographical rather than an ethnic designation. (See Nubians#Etymology Nubians § Etymology). The related term Noba was used (with some uncertainty even among the writers as to its meaning) both for a people already living in the area and for those who conquered it in the 4th century CE.
