- Description
- In the Syriac-English dictionary of Abraham Yohannan, a member of the Church of the East, he states that, according to generally accepted opinion, the Syrians were first known as Aramoye or Oromoye, which means Arameans. The designation Suryoyo (i.e., Syrian) came to be replaced by Aramean because the latter expression sounded pagan.
