Why are the people of Troy called Trojans?

V V V asked:

I know a better one. Why are the pleoples from China, Japan, etc. calling themselves 'Asian' when the original Asia was a smallish district in northwestern Anatolia?

good question, Robert ... and I can add the example of 'Africa' what was originally only a province in what is today's Tunisia, IIRC.
