It struck me earlier today that the word Asia comes from the Japanese word “Ajia” (亜細亜). I had no cluuuuuuuuuue!
Edited: Then I properly looked into it and was completely wrong. But somehow, the word for the asian region is the same in both Japanese (ajia) and in Europe (from latin/greek). [wikipedia article]
