What do 小亞 or 小亚 mean, without other characters in the end of the string? Can they mean "Little Asia"?

I know that 小亚洲 means little Asia, but what if I omit the last character?

Thanks.

I think it can. 亞 can be short for 亞洲, which is short for the dated 亞細亞, which was borrowed from Latin and Greek.

亞:
[en.wiktionary.org]
(～州) Short for 亞細亞／亚细亚 (Yàxìyà, “Asia”).
