Paul was from Tarsus. Today that town is part of modern Turkey.
Saint Paul grew up in Tarsus, which is located in modern-day Turkey. It was a prominent city during ancient times and played a role in shaping Paul's upbringing and education.
When he grew up, his name was Saul. His place of birth and upbringing was the city of Tarsus (on what is now the mid-south coast of modern-day Turkey). Saul's parents were Jewish, and he was brought up in the Jewish faith, and became a rabbi, by training. Saul's parents were tent makers for the Roman legions, by trade. Therefore, they were also granted Roman citizenship. It was not until Saul's travels, on the road to Damascus, that his conversion took place, changing his name to Paul, perceiving that he should follow Jesus, rather than persecute him.
