The ancient name of Syria was often referred to as "Aram" in biblical texts, particularly in reference to the Arameans who inhabited the region. Additionally, the broader area was known as "Phoenicia" along the coastal regions, inhabited by the Phoenician civilization. The term "Syria" itself is derived from the Greek "Syros," which referred to the Assyrian Empire and was later used to describe the region encompassing modern-day Syria.
