"Syriac people" may refer to a Syriac Christian people of Aramaic origin, living in what today is Syria, Turkey and Iraq. The term began to be used when the Syrian Orthodox Church changed its name to Syriac Orthodox Church in 1946.
Syriacs mostly call themselves Suryoye (ܣܘܪܝܝܐ) in their native tongue, but a small part in the diaspora tend to use Oromoye (Aramean.)
Being adherents of the West Syrian Rite, they belong to the Syriac Orthodox Church and Syriac Catholic Church, for which reason they are also known as Jacobites (named after Jacob Baradaeus). They are known as one of the first people to accept Christianity.
