From Latin *Africa*, originally used by the Romans for parts of North Africa around Carthage. The deeper origin is debated, possibly from a local tribe name or a word meaning “sunny” or “dusty.”
Africa is not a country but a vast continent with over a billion people and thousands of languages. Many ideas, from mathematics to music styles, have roots in African cultures that the rest of the world often overlooks.
