About Gaza
The name "Gaza" is of uncertain origin and meaning. It is believed to have Semitic roots, possibly derived from the Canaanite word "Ghazzah," meaning "strong." Another theory suggests that it may have originated from the Hebrew word "Azzah," which means "fortified." Over time, the name has been associated with the ancient city of Gaza, located in the southern part of modern-day Palestine. Today, Gaza is primarily known as a Palestinian territory and has gained significant geopolitical significance due to its complex history and ongoing conflicts.
