Explanation

The name Antarctica comes from Greek, specifically 'arktos' meaning bear, referring to the constellation Great Bear (Ursa Major). 'Antarktikos' means 'opposite the bear' or 'opposite the Arctic'. Latin and German are not the source of this name, while Urdu is unrelated to Antarctic nomenclature.
