Palestine (from Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשתינה Palestina; Arabic: فلسطين Filastīn, Falastīn) is one of several names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and various adjoining lands. Different definitions for the region have been used over the past three millennia.
Other English names for this region include: Canaan, Land of Israel, Holy Land and Cisjordan (not to be confused with the French term for the modern-day West Bank, Cisjordanie).
