"Herman Hoeh then quotes from Josephus, the Jewish historian, who himself quotes Alexander Polyhistor, who quotes the prophet Cleodemus, also called Malchus, who wrote a history of the Jews in agreement with the history of Moses. He relates that ". . . there were many sons born to Abraham by Keturah; nay, he names three of them, Apher, and Surim, and Japhran [from Apher "Africa" took its name] . . .these men were auxillaries to Hercules, when he fought against Libya and Antaeus; and that Hercules married Aphra's (that is, Apher's) daughter, and of her he begat a son, Diodorus. . ." (p.403-404)."
It means "sea foam" from the greek afros, the godess Aphrodite who came from the waves of the sea. Africa came up the last continent from the sea.
In Twi Afri means first and kan means beginning/origin

If you've watched my earlier videos, you'll notice that my microphone quality wasn't the best. To improve the clarity of my message, I've opted for crisper voiceovers while I work on acquiring better equipment. I encourage you to focus on the content and significance of what we're delivering in the meantime. After all, we are also AI - African Insights-a platform dedicated to deep research and thoughtful analysis. Reducing our work to a quick output of AI capabilities would undermine the depth and meaning behind each video. However we do note that there's a concern that relying on AI for content generation could be perceived as a shortcut, diminishing the perceived value of a research-driven approach. We have used Text to Speech Largely to enhance, not replace our content. We thank you for your feedback and concern and do want to make it known that as soon as our ducks are in a row and we are able to secure proper equipment, we certainly will revert to our initial method of delivery. Do stick along with us in our journey, we have a long way to go. More than anything we hope this content remains AI (Always Interesting) as it is truly Africa Inspired (AI).
@@africaninsights As someone that uses AI I understand the logic behind it. However you need to listen to your audience. They would prefer authenticity, i.e. hearing a human on a bad microphone, as opposed to faking a high quality recording using AI. Trust me. You can see I make AI songs on my channel. I have come to understand that you have to listen to your audience. Sometimes it is a point of pride from the audience's point of view to see you progress. It lets older fans bond over their time with you as they see you get better and better. Just something to consider. If the AI voice is indispensable, it is your business you do as you see fit. Stay visionary.
@@houseofvenusMD Profound!!! The audience has spoken! Appreciate the wise words and advice.
Ifrikya, the name was after an algerian tribe, ifri and ifrikya became afro and africa bec white ppl cant pronounce anything they named the whole continet after the ifri tribe that they first encountered in numidia they were and are Mediterranean peoples not sure why america made ppl think the entire continent is E1B1A, when theres also E1B1B they fail to educate yall on thats the indigenous brown race of north africa and the sahel
You don't know semitic languages. Ilah or Allah don't mean divinity, but Adoration, Dedication toward Him. You confuse translation with meaning of words. About Africa origin, you must first look for the original Phones : it is Afrika or Afriqa ? Q vs K which are not same origin and meaning. In Semitic, root FRQ means Distinction, separated, put apart side by side. The A of Africa, is it a A'in or a simple A ? See ? it's not so easy to identify an old word.
Could have sworn the video talked about etymology - ‘the study of words and how their meaning has changed over time’ yet you talk about translation and meaning of words
@@breezyb2379 I don't talk about translation, but etymology. Try to get the main point : identify the PHONES in Africa. Read my first com again. It seems that the strong root in AFRICA is etyma FR, and the F is the archetyp of the Gap, the Distance, so FR by itself means a strong gap. This is etymology, and morphosemantic.
@@victoremman4639 It's fascinating to see such a deep dive into the etymology of 'Africa'. While a phonetic and root-based analysis is undoubtedly valuable, it's essential to remember that etymology is a multidisciplinary field. Reducing a word's history to mere phonetics oversimplifies a complex interplay of cultural, historical, and geographical factors.
The concept of 'archetype' as applied to the letter 'F' is intriguing, though it requires further elaboration to understand its relevance to the word's overall meaning. While the Semitic root 'FRQ' might offer clues, it's crucial to consider the word within its broader linguistic and historical context.
Ultimately, etymology is about tracing the evolution of a word, not just dissecting its components. A holistic approach that considers various influences is essential for a comprehensive understanding.
You might be well-versed in linguistic intricacies-no doubt-but the video is addressing the broader evolution of the word 'Africa,' not just focusing on its phonetic components or how one language interprets it. The idea that the root 'FR' signifies a gap or distance is interesting, but etymology also considers how such meanings might shift, merge, or expand as words travel across different civilizations.
So while your focus on the granular phonetic elements is valid, it seems like you're missing the bigger picture that the video effectively captured. Etymology is like a complex web where phonetics, semantics, historical shifts, and cultural influences all intersect. The video isn’t ignoring the roots; it’s just looking at the entire tree-roots, branches, leaves, and all-within the environment it grew in.
Ifrikya is a tribe from algeria, named after ifri the diety celebrity... the white ppl named the entire continent after the amazigh peoples E1B1B haplogroup indigenous to north and parts of east africa and then on the atlantic coast E1B1A is the sub saharan haplogroup. From morocco to perisia iran there was always mountain people the mountains are now sand , but they gave us our tribal names like the kabylia mountains for the kabyle tribe and the atlas mountains their tribe and so on n so forth, egypt is reminiscent of petra and persepolis persia, structures like that aren't found anywhere in the subsaharan region, its unique to the Mediterranean where earliest Mediterranean civilisations were. If those people were NOT indigenous?? They wouldnt always be bombarded by white ppl tryna steal their lands , killing indigenous canaanite babies to erase their race smh
