The ancient Egyptians documented the "Peleset", the Philistine people, in the Medinet Habu temple inscriptions of Ramesses III, approximately 1150 BCE. The Assyrian king Adad-nirari III referred to "Palashtu" in the 9th century BCE. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus used "Palaistine" in the 5th century BCE. The Roman Empire used "Palaestina" from 135 CE onward. The Byzantine Empire continued the designation. The Arab geographers of the medieval period used "Filastin" as a recognized geographic region. The Ottoman Empire used it in administrative records. The British Mandate used it in international law. You asked what the root of Palestine is as though it has no answer. It has more answers, from more civilizations, across more centuries, than any name on your list.
