The term "Palestinian" to refer to a specific ethno-nationalist group of Arabs (Settled Muslims and Christians) has only existed since the mid-1950s. Prior to this, the term "Palestinian" referred to any person born in the British Mandate of Palestine and members of the Yishuv (the Jewish Settlements that would eventually become Israel) were also called Palestinians. In order to differentiate the Arabs from the Yishuv at that point, the Arabs were called Levantine Arabs, which was an ethnic term for all Settled Arabs (as opposed to Bedouin) in Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, and Jordan.
The Levantine Arab ethnicity came into existence around 1200 CE and was the result of Arabization (a process of converting to Islam and/or speaking Arabic) of the indigenous peoples of the Levant, who were composed of numerous Jewish, Christian, Canaanite, Philistine, Aramean, Assyrian, and other groups.
