Othello the character probably originated from North Africa. He was a Moor of both mixed Berber and Arab heritage. The word moor in Shakespeare's time also referred to people from sub-saharan African areas like Nigeria and Guinea. Although it is less likely, it is not improper to portray him as having this heritage.
The story of Othello originated with an Italian tale, Il Capitano Moro, which Shakespeare used as his source.
