List of modern names for biblical place names
text:
While a number of biblical place names like Jerusalem, Athens, Damascus, Alexandria, Babylon and Rome have been used for centuries, some have changed over the years. Many place names in the Land of Israel, Holy Land and Palestine are Arabised forms of ancient Hebrew and Canaanite place-names used during biblical times or later Aramaic or Greek formations. Most of these names have been handed down for thousands of years though their meaning was understood by only a few.
