Have you ever wondered why the continents’ names AfricA, AustraliA, AsiA, AmericA, AntarcticA, ArcticA, Europe start and end with the same letter?
It is really impressive, however, we still do not know the reason.
A possible explanation is that most words are of Latin derivation and according to the rules of Latin, most female nouns end in -a, whereas, most male nouns end in -er or -us.

Australia is not a continent, but a country. The continent is "Oceania", which breaks the rule
False. Australia is and always has been both a Country AND a Continent. Oceania is not a continent. A continent is a mass of land. Oceania is the large bodies of water, connecting thousands of islands.
There is no continent on Earth called Arctica.
