Aram is the name of an ancient middle-eastern region mentioned in The Bible. Aramaic is the language descended from the languages the Arameans, the the people of Aram. Aram was mostly in modern Syria, extending from Lebanon across the Euphrates at its greatest extent. Aleppo is the central city of the region, but Aramaic was the lingua franca of a far larger region, extending as far as Judea and Babylon.

The word "Aramaic" comes from the name of the ancient kingdom of Aram, which was situated in present-day Syria. Aramaic was the language spoken by the people of this region, and it eventually spread across a wide area, becoming the lingua franca of the Near East during the Neo-Assyrian and Persian Empires.
