    anguilla

    According to an article in Wikipedia:

    The name was first used by the German originator of the continental drift theory, Alfred Wegener, in the 1920 edition of his book The Origin of Continents and Oceans (Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane), in which a postulated supercontinent Pangaea played a key role.

    NOTE that's there's an extra "a" in the name: Pangaea.
