The name "Palestine" has a long and complex history. The term "Peleset" is found in five inscriptions referring to a neighboring people, who are generally identified with the Philistines, or their land Philistia, starting from circa 1150 BCE during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt.
The term "Palestine" was known from the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories. Later Greek writers such as Aristotle, Polemon and Pausanias also used the word, which was followed by Roman writers such as Ovid, Tibullus, Pomponius Mela, Pliny the Elder, Dio Chrysostom, Statius, Plutarch as well as Roman Judean writers Philo of Alexandria and Josephus.
In the early 2nd century CE, the term "Syria Palaestina" (literally, "Palestinian Syria") was given to a Roman province incorporating Judaea and other territories, either before or after the suppression of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135. Following the Muslim conquest, place names that were in use by the Byzantine administration generally continued to be used in Arabic, and the Jund Filastin became one of the military districts within the Umayyad and Abbasid province of Bilad al-Sham.
