Answer:

The word "Asia" doesn't appear in the Bible until the New Testament.

"Then there arose certain of the synagogue... and of Asia, disputing with Stephen." (Acts 6:9)

According to "Strong's Definitions"... "Asia" (as-ee'-ah)" is "of uncertain derivation; Asia, i.e. Asia Minor, or (usually) only its western shore...".

Following the biblical descendancy of the names in the Bible [of Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth; whose descendants repopulated the earth following the flood], in conjunction with historical records and genealogies... different people have derived a number of different origins of the Asian people. But, the Bible provides no clearly named origin [connected with the word 'Asia'].

The biblical evidence from the three sons of Noah, however, points to "Japheth" as the logical progenitor of the "Oriental" race; with Shem fathering the "Caucasian" race and Ham fathering the "Negro" race. With all the variety of other races and nations in the world springing from combinations of these three.

The Asian [Oriental] race is in evidence throughout the Pacific isles, as well as Alaska, the American continent [the American Indian] and South America... which lends some credence to the biblical passage:

"By these [Japheth's descendants] were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations." (Gen.10:5)

This, of itself, isn't conclusive... but "according to certain passages in the Bible"... it could lend itself to one possible answer to the question.
