The name Damascus is believed to have originated from the Semitic word "Dimašqa" which means "a well-watered place". The city of Damascus has been inhabited since the second millennium BC, and in the 18th century BC it was part of the Aramaean kingdom. In the 7th century BC, Damascus became the capital of the Aramaean kingdom of Aram-Damascus and remained so until its conquest by the Assyrians in 732 BC. The city then passed into the hands of the Seleucids, the Greeks, the Romans, and later the Umayyads. It was during the Umayyad period that the city gained its current name, Damascus.
