I believe the Portuguese called that whole area Guinea back in the day. I think it’s also where Papua New Guinea in South America gets its name from; through the tragic migrations of the middle passage.

Papua New Guinea is in Oceania, and the Guyanas in South America are named from an Amerindian term meaning “land of many waters”.
