Both forms of the word are feminine.

While أُورُوبَّا is a transliteration of the English word, Arabic speakers may also refer to the continent as القارة العجوز, which translates to 'the old continent'.
In some classical Arabic literature, the region was occasionally referred to as part of 'al-Rum', a term historically used to describe the lands of the Byzantine Empire.
Despite the similar sound, the Arabic word أُورُوبَّا is categorized as a 'foreign' noun, meaning it does not follow the standard internal root system of three consonants that governs most Arabic words.
