Etymology
From Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη (Eurṓpē), of uncertain origin, but either from:
- Ancient Greek εὐρύς (eurús) + ὄψ (óps), literally meaning "wide face" (as a description of the beauty of the mythical Europa) or "broad eye" (metaphorically meaning something like "as far as the eye can see")
- Semitic origin, such as:
- Akkadian 𒌓𒋙 (“to set, occident, west”),
- Phoenician 𐤏𐤓𐤁 (ʿereb, “evening”).
- Aramaic ערובה (ʿrōbā, “sunset, Sabbath eve”),
- Hebrew בֶּן‑עֲרֻבָּה (ben‑aruboh, “hostages”) and מַעֲרָב (ma‑ārov, "occident, west"),
- Classical Syriac ܥܪܘܒܐ (aruba, “hostages”) and ܡܥܪܒܐ (ma‑arba, "occident, west"),
- Arabic غَرْب (gharb, “occident, west”),
