İskenderun or Scanderoon (Ancient Greek: Αλεξανδρέττα "Little Alexandria"), historically known as Alexandretta, is a city and the largest district in the province of Hatay on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.

The city was founded as Alexandria (’Αλεξάνδρεια) and named for Alexander the Great.

Starting in the Middle Ages, Western pilgrims used the diminutive Romance form Alexandretta.^[3]

After the Muslim conquest of Syria, it was named al-ʼIskandarūn (Arabic الإسكندرون), the Arabic rendering of the original "Alexandrou"; this name was further turkified into Ottoman Turkish as İskenderūn (إسكندرون), which in turn was preserved into its current modern Turkish form as İskenderun.
