Raʼs as-Sanah (Arabic: رأس السنة, /raʔs asˈsana/, colloquially: /ra(ː)s es-/; English: New Year) means "Head of the year" in Arabic and refers to the beginning of a new year. Within the Alawites and Middle Eastern Christians, the term Ra's as-Sanah or Ras el-Seni refers to the Old New Year, which is celebrated by these groups on January 14 in the Gregorian calendar.[1][2][3]
The term has a common origin with the Hebrew "Rosh Hashanah" (also meaning "Head of the year"), reflecting the common heritage of the Jews and Arabs.[citation needed]
