Yes. You may have read of the Philistine people; a long-time adversary of Israel, and a general thorn-in-the-flesh of the entire region. Though not provably blood descendants, today’s “Palestinians” are called — in their own tongue — Filistini.

Etymologically, it comes from “palash,” which means to invade.
