Syria was the site of various early civilizations, most notably that of the Phoenicians. Falling successively within the empires of Persia, Macedon, and Rome, it became a center of Islamic power and civilization from the 7th century and a province of the Ottoman Empire in 1516.

Syria

Meaning unknown. From the Ancient Greek "Syria". Probably related to "syriac". Syriac people descend from big old "Syria" which involved modern Syria, Lebanon, south of modern Turkey and north of current Iraq.

Not to be confused with "Assyria" ("Assyrians": Arabic: "ashouriyin" / Syriac: Arabic: "sourian" Not to be confused with "Syrians": Arabic "souriyin" which stands for the people of current Syria.

Etymology

The name "Syria" is derived from the 8th century BC Luwian term "Sura/i", and the derivative ancient Greek name: "Sýrioi", or "Sýroi", both of which originally derived from "Aššurayu" ("Assyria") in northern Mesopotamia. However, from the Seleucid Empire (323-150 BC), this term was also applied to The Levant, and from this point the Greeks applied the term without distinction between the Assyrians of Mesopotamia and Arameans of the Levant. Mainstream modern academic opinion strongly favours the argument that the Greek word is related to the cognate "Assyria", ultimately derived from the Akkadian "Aššur".

In the past, others believed that it was derived from "Siryon", the name that the "Sidonians" gave to Mount Hermon. However, the discovery of the Çineköy inscription in 2000 seems to support the theory that the term "Syria" derives from "Assyria", whose ancient homeland was located in modern northern Iraq.

The area designated by the word has changed over time. Classically, "Syria" lies at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, between Arabia to the south and Asia Minor to the north, stretching inland to include parts of Iraq, and having an uncertain border to the northeast that Pliny the Elder describes as including, from west to east, "Commagene", "Sophene", and "Adiabene".

By Pliny's time, however, this larger Syria had been divided into a number of provinces under the Roman Empire (but politically independent from each other): "Judaea", later renamed "Palaestina" in AD 135 (the region corresponding to modern-day Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and Jordan) in the extreme southwest; "Phoenice" (established in 194 AD) corresponding to modern "Lebanon", "Damascus" and "Homs" regions; "Coele-Syria" (or "Hollow Syria") south of the Eleutheris river, and Iraq.
...

"Syria" (Arabic: "Suriya" or "Suriyah"), officially the "Syrian Arab Republic", is a country in Western Asia. De jure Syrian territory borders Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Israel to the southwest, but the government's control now extends to approximately 30-40% of the de jure state area and less than 60% of the population.

Étymologie

L’origine du nom "Syrie" n'est pas certaine. Il pourrait venir du grec ancien et désignerait à l’origine la terre d’Aram, mais Hérodote y voyait plutôt une forme abrégée d’"Assyrie", tandis que les historiens modernes le font remonter à divers toponymes locaux.

Il apparaît pour la première fois en grec et n’a pas d’antécédents identifiables, ni dans la forme ni pour le contenu, dans les textes pré-hellénistiques. Bien établi dans l’usage officiel romain et byzantin, il disparaît au VIIe siècle avec la conquête musulmane, mais continue à être utilisé en Europe.

Dans le monde arabo-musulman, la région autrefois appelée "Syrie" portait le nom de "Sham" qui était aussi celui de sa capitale, "Damas".

Le nom "Syrie", en arabe "Suriyyah", était inconnu jusque dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle où il ressurgit sous l’influence européenne.

En 1865, il devient le nom officiel d’une province, celle du vilayet de "Damas". C’est après l’établissement du mandat français en 1920, qu’il désigne l’État syrien actuel.

Syrien

Ländername: "Arabische Republik Syrien" ("al-Dschumhuriya al-Arabiya as-Suriya" = wörtlich "Syrische Arabische Republik")
...

"Syrien": Offizieller Staatsname: "al-Dschumhuriyyat al-?arabiyyat as-suriyya", "Arabische Republik Syrien", "Suriya". Der Name hat vielleicht denselben Hintergrund wie "Assyrien".

"Syrien" (amtlich "Arabische Republik Syrien"), arabisch "al-Dschumhuriyya al-?arabiyya as-suriyya", ist ein Staat in Vorderasien und Teil des Maschrek. Syrien grenzt im Süden an Israel und Jordanien, im Westen an den Libanon und das Mittelmeer, im Norden an die Türkei und im Osten an den Irak. Die Insel Zypern befindet sich etwa 125 km Luftlinie von der syrischen Küste entfernt. Mit rund 185.000 Quadratkilometern ist Syrien ungefähr halb so groß wie Deutschland.

Etymologie

Der Name "Syrien" kommt aus dem Griechischen, das wahrscheinlich den alten Namen "Assur" übernommen hat (siehe dazu auch die antiken Provinzen "Koilesyrien", "Syria" und "Syria Palaestina"). Nach Ansicht einiger Forscher ist der Name hingegen nicht von "Assyria" abgeleitet, sondern von "Tyros" ("Sur"). In der Antike und im Mittelalter bezeichnete "Syrien" ein erheblich größeres Gebiet als den heutigen Staat, nämlich in etwa die Region zwischen Mittelmeer, Taurus, Arabien und Mesopotamien. Die syrische Sprache (Ostaramäisch) war sogar noch weiter verbreitet.

Die arabische Kurzform kommt in zwei Formen vor: "Suriya" und "Suriya", bei Aussprache der Endung "Suriyatun"), jeweils ohne Artikel. Die traditionelle arabische Bezeichnung des Gebietes war bis in die Neuzeit "Bilad asch-Scham", wörtlich "Land zur Linken", also (wenn man in Mekka nach Osten blickt) "Land im Norden".
