The continent has several widely used names. The most commonly used, "''Alshar''", descends from the Arabic word الشرق (lit. "''east''", "alshrq"). The term is thought to have originated with [[Occidental]] explorers being sent to the continent east of [[Audonia]], referred to by the explorers simply as the "eastern land". | The continent has several widely used names.
