Carmel
Carmel in the Bible refers to two distinct places:
- Mount Carmel, coastal mountain range in Israel overlooking the Mediterranean Sea
- Carmel (biblical settlement), an ancient Israelite town in Judea
The word Carmel (Hebrew language: כַּרְמֶל) means "fresh" (planted), or "vineyard" (planted) and Karmiel (Hebrew: כַּרְמִיאֵל) is a portmanteau meaning "God's Vineyard".
The word is also commonly used in reference to the Carmelites and their houses or foundations.
In modern times, the name was also given to:
