No special word. Nubia is a geographic area along the Nile on both sides of the Egypt-Sudan border. A person from Nubia is a Nubian, and this would be rendered in Swahili as Mnubia. Nubian as an adjective in English (e.g., a Nubian thing) would be kitu cha kinubia in Swahili.
Nubia is distinct from the Nuba peoples farther south in historic Sudan. The word Nubian is often used in Eglish as a derogatory word for black people whatever their origins.
