What term for a smug, ignorant, uncultured person is named for ancient people of the early Middle east region?

The historical Philistines were a seafaring people who settled along the coastal plain of southern Canaan, known as Philistia, around the 12th century B.C. Their strategic location on a major trade route between Egypt and Syria often brought them into conflict with their neighbors (Review), the Israelites. Much of what is known about them comes from the Hebrew Bible, where they are consistently portrayed as formidable and uncultured adversaries. The most famous example of this rivalry is the story of the giant Philistine warrior, Goliath, who was defeated by the young Israelite David.

This biblical reputation as brutish outsiders is the root of the word's modern meaning. The term was adopted in 17th-century Germany by university students who dismissively referred to the local, uneducated townspeople as "Philister," implying they were enemies of culture and learning. The insult was later popularized in the English language by the 19th-century writer and cultural critic Matthew Arnold. He used "philistine" to describe the materialistic and anti-intellectual middle class of his era. Thanks to this long history, the name of an ancient people became a lasting term for a smug person who is ignorant of or hostile (Review) toward art and culture.
