The name of the continent of Asia was derived from a word in Ancient Greek and was used in Herodutus' Histories in 440 B.C.<span> It is speculated that the name was in use long before its first appearance in text, but may have initially referred to only a small area of land on the eastern end of the Aegean Sea in an area referred to as Assuwa by the Hittites.</span>

Asia derives from the Ancient Greek "Aoía", which was used as early as 440 B.C. by Herodotus in his Historian years. However, it is likely that the name was in use long before then, although not referring to a whole continent. It's rather originally just the name for land on the east bank of the Aegean (which means Asian)  Sea, and then later the Anatolia was soon called another word meaning Asia.
Hope that helps. :)

Your world is You. It is who you are now and who you grow to be. It is a timeline of your evolution in life. In this quiz you find out what your world is, and maybe you will even discover a little more about yourself. Pictures belong to their rightful owners. None are mine.

There has also been an increasing stream of work on the interactions between human societies and physical environments—long a central concern for some geographers, as illustrated by Clarence Glacken’s magisterial treatment of Western interpretations of nature in Traces on the Rhodian Shore: Nature and Culture in Western Thought from Ancient Times to the End of the Eighteenth Century (1967). Human abuse and despoliation of the environment are important themes introduced in their modern context by a pioneering American conservationist, George Perkins Marsh, in Man and Nature (1864), but they were minor concerns among most geographers until the late 20th century.
