In Hebrew, 'Galiyl' , In Greek, 'Galilaia' both refer to 'District' or region, but with the ideal of 'rolling' 'circling'.

It refers to an area in Northern Israel, and is noted for the Sea of Galilee, where The Bible reports Jesus walking on water, and a number of transits from one side to another.
