- Name_of_Syria abstract "The name Syria, historically referring to the region of Syria is the Latinized from the Greek Συρία. Etymologically, the name is often connected to Ασσυρία, Assuria, from the Akkadian 𒀸𒋗𒁺 Aššur.Herodotus stated that this was the Greek name for Assyria, and that the Persians called it Cappadocia. The region which became known as Cappadocia in the Roman Empire was a northern outpost of the old Assyrian Empire.In Greek usage, Syria and Assyria were used almost interchangeably, although Herodotus' clarifications were a notable exception.In the Roman Empire, Syria and Assyria came to be used as distinct geographical terms. "Syria" in the Roman Empire period referred to "those parts of the Empire situated between Asia Minor and Egypt", i.e. the western Levant, while "Assyria" was part of the Persian Empire, and only very briefly came under Roman control (116-118 AD, marking the historical peak of Roman expansion), where it was known as Assyria Provincia.".
