Southern Syria (Arabic: سوريا الجنوبية Sūriyā l-Janūbiyya) is the southern part of the Syria region, roughly corresponding to the Southern Levant. Typically it refers chronologically and geographically to the southern part of Ottoman Syria provinces.[1]
The term was used in Arabic primarily from 1918–20, during the Arab Kingdom of Syria period.[2][3][4][5] Zachary Foster in his Princeton University doctoral dissertation has written that, in the decades prior to World War I, the term “Southern Syria” was the least frequently used out of ten different ways to describe the region of Palestine in Arabic, noting that “it took me nearly a decade to find a handful of references”.[6]
