Philip Khuri Hitti (1886–1978) was a pioneering Lebanese-American historian who effectively established Arab and Islamic studies in the United States. As a long-time professor at Princeton University, he founded its Department of Near Eastern Studies and authored the seminal History of the Arabs (1937) and Lebanon in History (1957). He was the first native Arab speaker to receive a PhD from a U.S. university and served as a vital cultural bridge, educating the West on Arab history and identity throughout the mid-20th century.

As Aramean Christians adopted the Edessan dialect and made it the language of the church, of literature and of cultivated society, they all became known as Syriacs (Suryoye). Their earlier name, having by that time acquired in their minds a heathen connotation, became distasteful to them. Thus did the original Semitic name, Aramaic, come to be generally avoided and was replaced by the Greek “Syriac” for the people and “Syriac” for the language.
