    The original name of Africa was likely Alkebulan, according to some historians and scholars. Alkebulan was used by ancient peoples like the Moors, Nubians, and Ethiopians to refer to the continent. However, the name Africa became widely used after the Romans referred to the land south of Rome as Africa, taking the name from the Berber word "Afri" which meant dust or sand. Over time, the name Africa replaced earlier names like Alkebulan in common use.
