Gondwana refers to the Australasian continent.
I believe the Egyptians, Greeks and Phonecians referred to Africa as "The Land of (the) Kush". See Ptolomey (ancient geographer).

i do not think africa had an ancient name, mainly because africa was not seen as a continent in ancient times.various countries had their own ancient times. the egyptians called somalia punt, sudan was called meroe, egypt called itself kmt.
