"ヨーロッパ" meaning in Japanese

See ヨーロッパ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [jo̞ːɾo̞p̚pa̠] Forms: Yōroppa [romanization], Eurotupa [romanization], エウロツパ [historical, katakana]
Etymology: /europpa/ [jeuɾoppa] → /joːroppa/ From Portuguese Europa. Some references source this from Dutch Europa; however, Dutch phonology makes this less likely, as the ⟨eu⟩ vowel combination has apparently been pronounced as the monophthongs /œː/ or /øː/ since the time of Middle Dutch. Meanwhile, in Portuguese, the ⟨eu⟩ vowel combination has been pronounced as the diphthong /ew/, a closer match for the borrowed Japanese pronunciation. Although this term is a 外来語 (gairaigo, “word of non-native or non-Middle Chinese origin”), it was borrowed early enough to be subject to the sound change from /eu/ to /joː/ during Late Middle Japanese. Compare similar developments in English (/ɛu̯/ → /juː/; /jʊ/, /jɔː/, /jɜː/ before /r/) during the Great Vowel Shift, which yields the modern English pronunciation of Europe. Alternatively, it is merely a historical kana orthography-induced spelling pronunciation; compare 要(えう) (yō), as well as アルコール (arukōru). Doublet of エウローペー (Eurōpē, “Europa”).
