Ain Ebel (Arabic: عين إبل; Syriac: ܥܝܢ ܐܒܠ), is a village located in the Lebanese Upper Galilee in the Caza of Bint Jbeil in the Nabatieh Governorate in Lebanon, about 90 kilometers south of the capital Beirut. It is North of Rmeich and South of Bint Jbeil. The main road that runs through the village is called Rmeich-Bint Jbeil Road because Ain Ebel is between the 2 villages. Historian Taissier Khalaf writes that the name of the town means "Spring of the Monk" because in Aramaic Ain means spring and Ebel means the hermit, who wears a monk's garb. While Anis Freiha and Friar Youakim Moubarak believe that Ebel is a corruption of the word Baal, in reference to the Semitic god associated with storms and thus irrigation, and combined with Ain then the name may mean the "Spring of Irrigation". Edward Henry Palmer, in 1881, wrote that it meant "The Spring of Camels" taking a literal translation for the name from classical Arabic. More information...
