Haha. Who says Europeans are little ? :P Europe is a continent, called by Greek historians and philosophers since at least 600 BC. There were three continents known by the Greeks: Asia, Lybia (later Africa) and Europe. So people who lived in Asia were Asians, and people who lived in Europe were Europeans. Europeans don't have any specific looks or common origin or language. Migration has contributed since thousands of years

Indians. Columbus named them because he thought he landed in the West Indies but he really landed where Haiti is today. The Europeans stuck with that name.
