Tulkarm or Tulkarem (Arabic: طولكرم‎ Ṭūlkarm; Hebrew: טול כרם) is a Palestinian city in the West Bank.

The city's origins can be traced back to at least the third century C.E. under the name "Berat Soreqa", and in later centuries as "Tur Karma" (in Aramaic: טור כרמא), which means “mount of vineyards” in Aramaic, as the city is known for the fertility of the land and the vines around it. "Tur Karma" later became "Tul Karem". [1]

Location

The city is situated on the western part of the northern West bank, in the foothills of the Samarian mountains about 15 kilometres west of Nablus and 15 kilometres east of the Israeli coastal town of Netanya. It is bounded by the Jenin, Nablus and Qalqilya districts in the north, east and south, respectively, and by the 1948 cease-fire line in the west. This central location between the plain and the mountain has made it commercially and militarily significant and has had a great effect on its growth. The district lies between 40 to 500 m above sea level and is entirely within a fertile zone. This is a cause of regional high population density relative to other districts. Population density in the Tulkarm district is about 583 person/km² while in Ramallah, Hebron and Bethlehem districts it is 209, 245 and 230 person/km² respectively. In the past, it was a caravan station and a trading centre for the products of the mountain and the plain, as well as a point from which armies crossed to Egypt and the Levant (Al-Sham).

There isn't a Tulkirem in Afghanistan, there is a Tulkaram in the West Bank of Palestine. See this Map for details.

I lived in Afghanistan for a while and I don't remember ever hearing that name before, granted I didn't leave Kabul much but I am guessing there other guys are right and that it is somewhere else. But there are also tons of little towns that have funny names and they may have existed once and then everyone left or something.
