Introduction to Asia´s History

The name Asia is ancient, and its origin has been really hard to get explained. The greek people used it to designate the lands situated to the east of their homeland. It is believed that the name may be derived from the Assyrian word asu, meaning “east.” When Western explorers reached South and East Asia in early modern times, they extended that label to the whole of the immense landmass.
