Africa is the world's third largest continent. At 11,608,000 sq. miles (30,065,000 sq. km) it covers 20.3% of the total land area on Earth. The ancient Romans used the name Africa terra (land of the Afri (pl.) or Afer (sg.)) for the northern part of the continent, corresponding to modern Tunisia. The origin of Afer may be the Arabic afer, dust; the Afridi tribe, who dwelt in Northern Africa around the area of Carthage; Greek aphrike, without cold, or Latin aprica, sunny.
