'Aramaic' is the name of the Semitic language that was spoken by Syrians in antiquity. Syriac was the Aramaic dialect that was spoken around Edessa. This became the language in which Christianity was preached east of the Roman Empire. Syriac is Aramaic, but not all Aramaic is Syriac.

Many words in Syriac have subtle differences from the Aramaic root, but the word remains the same. For example, Spirit in Syriac is Ruho. In Aramaic, it is Ruha.
