the name ‘africa’ has its roots in the latin language. the name has its origins in the latin word ‘aphrike’ which translates to ‘without cold’ or ‘warm climate’. the name was likely derived from the phoenician word ʿafar meaning ‘dust’. the name was then used by the romans to refer to the ‘sunny’ continent and it has become the commonly used name for the continent of africa.
