What does the word "black' mean?

black (adj.)
Old English blæc "absolutely dark, absorbing all light, the color of soot or coal," from Proto-Germanic *blakaz"burned" (source also of Old Norse blakkr "dark," Old High German blah "black," Swedish bläck"ink," Dutch blaken "to burn"), from PIE *bhleg-"to burn, gleam, shine, flash" (source also of Greek phlegein "to burn, scorch," Latin flagrare "to blaze, glow, burn"), from root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn."

The same root produced Old English blac "bright, shining, glittering, pale;" the connecting notions being, perhaps, "fire" (bright) and "burned" (dark), or perhaps "absence of color."

How did :Africa: get its name?

The original name for the continent called Africa today was Alkebulan."In Kemetic History of Afrika, Dr. Cheikh Anah Diop writes, "The ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan. Alkebu-lan "mother of mankind" or "garden of Eden"." Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians." [i]

"The exact origins of the word 'Africa' are contentious, but there is much about its history that is known. We know that the word 'Africa' was first used by the Romans to describe that part of the Carthaginian Empire which lies in present day Tunisia. When the Romans conquered Carthage in the second century BCE, giving them jurisdiction over most of North Africa, they divided North Africa into multiple provinces, amongst these there were Africa Pronconsularis (northern Tunisia) and Africa Nova (much of present-day Algeria, also called Numidia)." [ii]

"All historians agree that it was the Roman use of the term 'Africa' for parts of Tunisia and Northern Algeria which ultimately, almost 2000 years later, gave the continent its name..." [iii]

There are many theories as to how this name was created, one such theory is that it is named after Roman General Scipio Africanus the Elder, (born 236 bce and died 183 bce) who defeated Hannibal the Carthagenian General in the Battle of Zama (202 bce.) In 142 bce with the Destruction of Cathage, Africa was annexed.

However "The origin of the name Africa has been debated forever, but it's a misconception that the continent was named after Roman general Scipio Africanus, nor is it named after Leo Africanus, a man who came much later. Both of them got their names from Africa and not the other way round. A school of thought argues that the name Africa never originated from within the people and its people were never associated with the name. Scorpio Africanus is the Roman general who engineered the defeat of the African nation called Carthage in what is now Tunisia. Carthage was a colony of Phoenicia, an ancient Semitic-speaking civilization that originated in what is now Lebanon. The Phoenicians had an African mixture and with the passage of time, Carthage became increasingly African. Carthage means "the new town". The Romans called this entire area Africa. With the defeat of the Carthaginians, Gen. Scipio was given the name "Conqueror of Africa". Therefore, Scipio Africanus does not give his name to Africa. He gets his name from "Africa." [iv]
