Possibly, but there was a Wilderness of Sin in the Bible:

It’s where the Israelites first ate manna from Heaven, most likely in the Sinai peninsula.

Sin was the name of a widespread moon god of the heathen, even up to the time of Mohammed..................

To: Red Badger; what's up

Sinai might have been named after this moon-god? or visa versa. Interesting
