Relating to Nubia, an ancient region in northeastern Africa (in modern Sudan), or a person from that region.
From Nubia, an ancient civilization along the Nile River, from Egyptian 'nub' meaning 'gold.' The region was famous for its gold reserves, and the name became synonymous with wealth and precious resources.
Nubia was actually called 'Kush' by its own people and was a rival superpower to ancient Egypt—it's less famous in history books partly because early Egyptologists wrote the histories, but Nubian kingdoms ruled for centuries and even conquered Egypt itself!
