Arabic speakers pronounce Palestine as Falastin. Additionally, the name Palestine derives not from Rome but from earlier inhabitants of the area, who referred to it as Philistine/Peleshet/Palastu. src: Bernard Lewis, Palestine: On the History and Geography of a Name https://doi.org/10.1080/07075332.1980.9640202
