Aristotles lived 384 BCE – 322 BCE (according to Wikipedia), so supposedly he must have known of Europa at this point.

Quote:
1603, from L. Europa "Europe," from Gk. Europe, often explained as "broad face," from eurys "wide" + ops "face." Klein suggests a possible Sem. origin in Akkad. erebu "to go down, set" (in reference to the sun) which would parallel orient (q.v.).
(from Etymonline)

Its inital meaning for him or others in society, I dont know. Out of his ethnocentric views, my guess would be it doesnt matter.

Correct, although it was only with Carolings when Europe became more than just a mere geographical term, but it was used to describe European Christendom/Catholic Europe.

Actually, that was during the Roman Empire. The Carolingians barely managed to revive that Old Europe (with the addition of some lands north of the Rhine).

As far as I know, Romans used it as a geographical term too (to describe the lands they conquered in Europe), just like Asia and Africa.
