Here is a list of my speculations of the origins of Dark Continent related names! There's no really confirmation for these, some are pretty obvious but other are more like guesses.

» Morgiana — Named after a character (مرجانة) from the tale Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. She is the clever slave girl in Cassim's household before joining Cassim's brother Ali Baba after Cassim's death. She saved Ali Baba many times with her quick wits, and is eventually freed and marries Ali Baba's son. The name means a small pearl, although Ohtaka said it means coral.
» Yunan — King Yunan is a character in the 1001 Nights, a king of a Persian city. The name means "Greece".
