Etymology
Syriac comes from the Greek Syriakos, 'of Syria', and is from the same root as Syrian, with the idea that Syria may come from Assyria, an ancient empire. That is why the ancient Semitic language is called Syriac — it is the language that came 'from Syria' and was used in many early Christian texts.
