Apparently all the semitic-speaking people originated in the the Levant, descended from the Cannanites, the native inhabitants. The Canaanites were, if anyone, the original people of Canaan, not the Philistines who came much later.
But, it is a fact that the Arabs came after the Philistines, who were assimilated into the Canaanite society. The Bible attributes the name to Canaan, the son of Ham and the grandson of Noah, whose offspring correspond to the names of various ethnic groups in the land of Canaan, listed in the "Table of Nations" (Gen. 10), where Sidon is named as his firstborn son, to be subdued by the descendents of Shem.
