Aram is the name of a region mentioned in the Bible located in central Syria, including where the city of Aleppo (aka Halab) now stands. The name is traditionally derived from Aram, son of Shem, a grandson of Noah in the Bible.The Aramaeans (speakers of the Aramaic traditionally descended from Aram) began to settle in Aram and Mesopotamia in the late 12th century BCE. Two medium-sized Aramaean kingdoms, Aram-Damascus and Hamath, along with several smaller kingdoms and independent city-states, developed in the region during the first millennium BCE. The Chaldeans who settled in southern Babylonia around 1000 BCE were founders of the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 625 BCE are also believed to have been an Aramaean tribe.
