"Canaans" is a relatively uncommon word with limited synonyms. It is believed to be a derivative of "Canaanite," which refers to the ancient Semitic people who inhabited the Levant region. Some possible synonyms for "Canaans" include "Canaanite settlements," "Canaanite territories," and "Canaanite lands." However, these mainly just describe the geographic locations where the Canaanites lived rather than referring to the people themselves. Other possible synonyms for "Canaanites" could include "Levantine peoples," "Phoenicians," or "Amorites," which are related groups that inhabited the region during the same time period.
