庫爾德語
After Antiochus IV's reign, the name of the city reverted to Edessa, in Greek, and also appears in Armenian as "Urha" or "Ourha" (), in Aramaic (Syriac) as "Urhay" or "Orhay" (), in local Neo-Aramaic (Turoyo) as "Urhoy", in Arabic as "ar-Ruhā" (), in the Kurdish languages as , Latinized as "Rohais", and finally adopted into Turkish as "Urfa" or "Şanlıurfa" ("Glorious Urfa"), its present name. This originally Aramaic and Syriac name for the city may have been derived from the Persian name "Khosrow".
