I remember reading somewhere that the word Africa originally came from the Phoenicians, who described the geographical area as full of 'dust' (afar) but 'empty' (rayk) otherwise: that is, afar-rayk. It was well known that the Latinized 'Africa' commemorates the victories of Scipio Africanus ('Scipio Major') over Hannibal of Carthage in the Second Punic War.
