Jarabulus (Arabic: جرابلس / ALA-LC: Jarābulus; Kurdish: Cerablûs, Turkish: Cerablus, Aleppo dialect: Jrāblos) is a Syrian city administratively belonging to Aleppo Governorate.
The town has an altitude of 367 m asl and lies on the western bank of the river Euphrates. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), it had a population of 11,570 in the 2004 census. It is located North of the Lake Assad, just South of the Syrian-Turkish border. The city has an Arab majority with Kurdish and Turkmen minorities.
The original AD 18th century form of the toponym seems to have been "Djerabis", later found however as "Djeraboolos" or "Djerablus", probably deriving from a Hierapolis (which is modern Manbij to the South-West). In the Bronze and Iron Ages the archaeological site lying just North of Jarabulus (half of which is now in Turkey) was called "Karkemish", in Greek and Roman times the ancient name of the city was "Europos" (Εὐρωπός), which must have been at the origin of the modern form of the toponym Jerabis. Aside from this, the Kurdish name "Kaniya Dil" means "spring of heart", where the root "kani" means spring or well and "dil" is a Kurdish word for heart.
