Levans
Levans sive Oriens seu Syria sensu lato (Arabice al-Sham), est magna Orientis Medii regio, montis Tauri septemtrione et occidente Mari Mediterraneo et oriente Desertis Arabicis Septemtrionalibus et Mesopotamiae finitima.
Quae locutio nec paeninsulam Arabicam nec Caucasum neque Anatoliam comprehendere solet.
Vocabulum Levans e Francogallico Medio Levant, participio praesentis verbi lever ('levare'), ortum est. Ergo Solem Orientem, secundum perspectivam terminum novantium qui erant iuxta Mediterraneum Occidentale, attingit.
Aliae fontes Levans sensu latiore utputa Mediterranei Orientalis nationum congeriem (Turciam, Syriam, Aegyptum) et Asiam Minorem definiunt.
Incolae Levantini appellantur.
