The name of Shaam
Though Shaam (شَـام) could refer to the city of Damascus in Syria, it would originally refer to the region that is bordered by the Taurus Mountains of Anatolia in the north, the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the Arabian Desert in the south, and Mesopotamia in the east. This is the narrow definition of the Levant that was used by Killebrew and Steiner, who implied that this area can also be called "Greater Syria," like Abu Sway. It includes the modern countries of Syria and Lebanon, and the land of Palestine.  The actor's page was thus renamed "Shaam (actor)." Leo1pard (talk) 07:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
