The terms Filasṭīn (Palestine) and Filasṭīnī (Palestinian) have served as central identifiers of Palestinian identity, reflecting both a geographical and cultural connection to the land. Rooted in the concept of nisbah—an Arabic linguistic marker linking individuals to places or tribes—Filasṭīnī underscores a sense of belonging to Palestine. This nisbah-based identity has historically tied the population to the physical geography of the region, symbolizing both territorial connection and a shared cultural heritage. Over time, these identifiers have evolved into powerful symbols of national and collective identity.
