Asiaとは

語源

From Ancient Greek Ἀσῐ́ᾱ (Asíā), from Mycenaean Greek �������� (a-si-wi-ja /aswijaː/), in turn probably from Hittite ������ (Aššuwa, “northwest Anatolia”) of uncertain origin, but possibly from either:

• Akkadian ���� (“to go out, to rise”), a reference to the rising sun, hence “land of the sunrise.”
• a proposed Aegean language family word "asis", meaning "muddy" or "silty", in reference to the silty eastern shores of the Aegean sea.
