Etymology

Compound of Syria +‎ Palaestīna, literally “Palestinian Syria”.[1][2] In renaming the conquered province of Judaea, 2nd century AD Roman Emperor Hadrian formally adopted a name that had been in use as a Græco-Roman geographic term since at least the time of 5th century BC historian Herodotus, who repeatedly wrote in his dialectal Ionic Greek Συρίη ἡ Παλαιστίνη (Suríē hē Palaistínē, “Syria Palaestina”), meaning the part of Syria that is Palestine. Syria was understood to refer to a broader geographic region encompassing multiple smaller territories, with Syria Palaestina the southernmost part of Syria, bordered to the north by Syria Phoenīcē, followed by Coelē Syria, south of Asia Minor.

(Compare Gallia Cisalpīna (“Cisalpine Gaul”), Hispānia Baetica (“Baetic Hispania”) etc.)
