The first name given to Jerusalem was "Orshalem", meaning the "City of Peace", named by the Canaanites 5,000 years ago. This name was then changed to Yuroshalime by the Jews, then to Orshamam by the pharoahs, then Herusulima by the Greeks and Romans, and finally to Jerusalem by the Franks (Al Dabbagh 1975).
