Galilee 
"northernmost province of Palestine," c.1186, from L. Galilaea, Gk. Galilaia, from Heb. Haggalil, lit. "The District," a compressed form of Gelil haggoyim "the District of Nations" (cf. Isa. viii:23). The adj. Galilean is used both of Christ (1637), who was born there, and of the It. astronomer Galileo (1727) who so shook the Christian Church.
