Where Did Suraye etc Come From?

Let me just add the heading for this topic reads:

“Syrians (Suraye, Suryoyo, Suryani), Arameans.”

On this subject Dr. Joseph has the following to say:

“Throughout the nineteenth century the Nestorians were also referred to as Syrians by European travelers and writers. Indeed ‘Syrians’(Suraye/Suryoyo) was the name by which the ‘Nestorians’ and ‘Jacobites’ called themselves until the post-World War I period: thereafter, Suraye was gradually replaced among the ‘Nestorians’ by Aturaye, the name of the ancient Assyrians in Syriac. The ‘Jacobites’ continue to call themselves Suryoyo.”

There is much more on just how Nestorians came to be called Syrians, but let’s pause here and scalp someone.
