The fertile crescent was called 'fertile' because around 2000 BCE there was fertile soil that was great for farming. new soil called silt was brought over regularly by floods. This fertility later on helped grow the early cities that lived there.
It is worh noting that the Fertile Crescent is entirely in Southwest Asia, not Africa. It is in the current countries of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, and Jordan.
