There is likely more than one answer to your question. The term Mesopotamia itself comes from two Greek words meaning "between" and "rivers," referring to the Tigris and Euphrates. "Cradle of Rivers" is a title claimed by many regions of the world, but is most often applied by scholars to the ancient city-states of Mesopotamia. Finally, the "Fertile Crescent" is a historical region in the Middle East incorporating Mesopotamia, but also the Levant and, according to some, ancient Egypt. The term Fertile Crescent was coined by archaeologist James Henry Breasted.

Let's see, Mesopotamia was the oldest civlization, started in the fertile plains between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
So another name would be Baghdad or Iraq.
