I need a proper noun for Asia. Is “Continent” correct?

“Asia” is the proper noun for the asian continent.
A proper noun is a noun that names a specific thing. In writing, proper can be identified by being having the first letter capitalized.
“Asia” is the proper noun for the asian continent. “Continent” is a noun but it doesn’t specify the asian one and so isn’t a proper noun.
