The term Palestine is derived from Greek: Παλαιστινη/Latin: Palaestina, which refers to the biblical Philistines, a people of Aegean origin who settled in the southern coastal plains of Canaan, in the 12th century BC, their territory being named Philistia. After crushing Bar Kochba's revolt in 132-135, the Romans applied the name to the entire region that had formerly included Iudaea Province, in an attempt to suppress Jewish national feelings. The Arabic toponym Filasteen (Arabic: فلسطين‎) is also derived from the Latin name.
