The ultimate origin is uncertain and probably Pre-Greek. The geographical and mythological uses may ultimately represent the same name, but a direct historical connection between them has not been established. The traditional interpretation of the mythological name as εὐρύς (eurús, “wide, broad”) + ὤψ (ṓps, “eye, face”) is uncertain, as are proposed connections with Semitic words meaning “evening” or “west”. Compare Danish Europa, Swedish Europa, German Europa, Dutch Europa and English Europe. ==== Proper noun ==== Europa Europe; a continent west of Asia and north of Africa. Hun kan alle hovedstedene i Europa. ― She can name all the capitals in Europe. (Greek mythology) Europa, a princess traditionally described as Phoenician, abducted to Crete by Zeus in the form of a bull. ===== Derived terms ===== ===== See also ===== === Etymology 2 === Named after the mythological Europa in Etymology 2. ==== Proper noun ==== Europa (astronomy) Europa, one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.
