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 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:
