Aram-naharaim

Meaning: Aram of the two rivers.

This name is used to refer to Mesopotamia (as it is translated in Genesis 24:10), the country enclosed between the Tigris River on the east and the Euphrates River on the west (Psalm 60, title); called also the “land of Aram” (Hos. 12:12, NRSV) i.e., the open country of Aram; in the King James Bible, “country of Syria.” Padan-aram was a portion of this country.
