Why do you call Europe a gurapa?

I can't connect at all based on the pronunciation Is there a historical reason?

pu1. First, Europe is called Europa in Portuguese. Next, the Chinese characters in Europe are 羅巴야. If you pronounce it in Chinese, it's pronounced Eouruba. In Korea, after 巴가진 was introduced from China, it was called Gurapara by reading Chinese characters
