The wide, flat plain located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in present-day Iraq is called Mesopotamia. The term "Mesopotamia" comes from the Greek words "mesos" meaning "middle" and "potamos" meaning "river," which collectively means "land between the rivers." This region is often considered the cradle of civilization, as it is where some of the earliest complex societies formed, including the Sumerians.
