Tulkarm or Tulkarem ( Ṭūlkarm; ) is a
Palestinian city in the
West Bank.The city's origins can be traced back to at least the third century C.E. under the name "Berat Soreqa", and in later centuries as "Tur Karma" (in
Aramaic: טור כרמא), which means “mount of vineyards” in
Aramaic, as the city is known for the fertility of the land and the vines around it. "Tur Karma" later became "Tul Karem".
[1] "Kerem" means "vineyard" in
Semitic Languages and is mentioned in
Book of Jeremiah:31:3:"Again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of
Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall have the use thereof".
