Where Arabica got its name.....I did not know, so you have forced me into Google mode :D.
Here's a quote from About.com, which makes sense:
Arabica got its name around the 7th century when the bean crossed the Red Sea from Ethiopia to present-day Yemen and the lower Arab peninsula (hence arabica).
As I'm not a coffee gourmand, I'll not answer the question:
"
Which is better and why?"
Get to it ladies and gents.
