Thursday, December 11, 2003 Where did the name Palestine come from? According to this history of the term, Palestine was a name imposed on the region in 135 AD by the Romans in a move to erase the name of Judea following a Jewish uprising. The name came from the Greek "Philistine Syria," after the biblical Philistines, who were not Arabs or even Semitic, but related to the Greeks.
