In terms of historic names for what is now the country of Jordan, it is worth noting that Jordan had never been exactly circumscribed as unified territory before 1922; it was pieces and parcels of different states and therefore the names may refer to only partial regions of the country. Many consider Jordan to be an "artificial" country since its borders were drawn solely at British and French discretion with little interest in the actual unity of the country. However, Jordanians have established themselves as a unified nation-people.

A list of some names by which all or part of Jordan was once known would include: Gilead, Ammon, Moab, Nabatea, Edom, Aramea, Iudea Province, Roman Arabia, Emirate of Damascus, Ruwayshid, Wilayet Dimashq, Palestine, Transjordan.
