Palestine. Before that it was called Judea, and before that it was Israel. Its first name was Canaan.

If the question seeks to ask specifically before World War 1, Palestine was the term used for the general region of the southern Levant under Ottoman Turkish Occupation. The territory was administrated as part of three different wilayaat or governates: the Wilayat Beirut (which consisted of much of Lebanon and northern Israel/Palestine), Mutasaffirat al-Qods (which consisted of Jerusalem and the surrounding area in central Israel/Palestine), and Wilayat Dimashq (which consisted of much of Syria, Jordan, and the southern Negev Desert in Israel). The Palestinian Arabs had little to no power in the administration or politics of any of the three wilayaat, which were ruled entirely by Turkish nobility in Beirut, Damascus, and Istanbul.

What was the cultural significance of palestine before World War 1?

None; there was no "Palestine" prior to World War 1. Before the Great War, the area now sometimes called "Palestine" was part of Turkey, and had been for hundreds of years. Turkey was allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and after WWI ended, the British and French partitioned Turkey into several separate colonies including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. "Palestine" was the name given to the area that now includes Israel and Jordan. After WWII, the United Nations partitioned "Palestine" into "Israel" and "Trans-Jordan", or the "land across the Jordan River".
