- Beth_Nahrain abstract "Beth Nahrain or Bit Nahrain (Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪ̈ܝܢ; "house (of the) rivers") is the Syriac name for the region known as Mesopotamia (Greek "land between the rivers") as well as its surrounding periphery. Geographically, it refers to the areas around the Euphrates and Tigris rivers (as well as their tributaries). The Aramaic name loosely describes the area of the rivers, not between the rivers like the literal Greek term; however both names refer to the same region.While it may be erroneously thought that the name is derived from the Greek "Mesopotamia", the opposite is more probable as the Aramaic name has been attested since the adoption of Old Aramaic as the lingua franca of the Neo Assyrian Empire in the 10th century BCE, while the Greek name Mesopotamia was first coined in the 2nd century BCE by the historian Polybius during the Seleucid period. The name Bayn al-Nahrayn is also found in Arabic (بين النهرين; "between the two rivers").This area roughly encompasses Iraq, northeastern Syria and parts of southeastern Turkey and southwestern Iran. "Nahrainean" or "Nahrainian" is the Anglicized name for "Nahraya", which is the Aramaic equivalent of "Mesopotamian".".
