Original sentence: "  The Arabic word for Palestine, فلسطين‎, transliterated "Falasṭīn," derives from the Latin term Palaestina.(See Palestine.After the Bar-Kokhba revolt of the Judeans and the subsequent Roman repression and exile, the Romans renamed the entire district of Judea "Palaestina".Another version, however, holds that the Romans - coming from the Mediterranean and finding "Pleshet" or "Plishtia" as the established name of the coastal region, tended to extend this name further inland (much as the Jews themselves extended the name the Ionians, the Greeks living nearest to them, making it the name of all Greeks ("Yevanim" יוונים) is the Hebrew word for Greeks up to the present).Discussion of these two theories sometimes moves out of the purely historical, tending to be coloured by one's position with regard to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.One interpretation is that this was a mark of insult to their defeated enemies, which was due to the Romans' knowledge of the region's history and the fact that the Philistines and the Israelites were warring peoples.The Arabic language's lack of the "p" phoneme, and the tendency to arabicize the "t" and "k" of foreign words as the corresponding Semitic emphatic consonants, resulted in this nomenclature after the Muslim conquest brought Arabs to the region in 636 AD, often used interchangeably for the entire greater Syrian district (Arabic: "Shaam")
