Views on endonymic (native) designations are also divided. Aramean activists are endorsing two terms: "Ārāmayē" () and "Sūryāyē" (), but they are emphasizing that the second term was historically accepted as an alternative self-identification only since the 5th century CE, under the influence of Greek terminology. Assyrian activists are endorsing the term "Āṯūrāyē" (), and also accept the term "Sūryāyē" (), but they claim that it always represented just a slightly shortened form of the main designation for Assyrians. In the Assyrian Neo-Aramaic language, both terms are thus used: "Āṯūrāyē" ("Assyrians") and "Sūrāyē/Sūryāyē" ("Syrians/Syriacs").
