Africah is in Origin.

Africah is a modern respelling of Africa/Afrika used as a given name in English. The root is Latin Africa, the Roman term for North Africa, likely “land of the Afri,” a local people; by extension the name evokes the continent and its heritage. As a personal name it appears in several traditions: medieval Ireland used the Gaelic Aifric (also Affraic), often Latinized as Africa/Affrica in records; Spanish África occurs through Marian devotion; occasional English use dates from the early modern period and has revived with place‑name and heritage naming.

Variants include Africa, Afrika, África (Spanish), and the Irish forms Aifric/Affraic (also Affrica). Related but distinct is Afra. Africah is typically feminine, with possible nicknames Rica or Ria. The final -h is a contemporary stylistic flourish rather than an etymological element.
