>Are you saying that prior to 1850 we did not call ourselves "Assyrian"?

Are you refering to the 'we' as members of the ACOE or the people of Mesopotamia?
If the former then yes, we did have a few individuals, writers and priests who declared their Assyrian identity much like Khalil Gibran did, BUT we were always known as Suraye a word that became synonamous with Christian. Our ancient Assyrian ancestors were meanwhile viewed with hostility with Psalm137:8-9 read out in our churches right til this very day.
