Taybeh (Arabic: الطيبة) is a Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank, 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) northeast of Jerusalem and 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) northeast of Ramallah in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, 850 meters (2,790 feet) above sea level. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Taybeh had a population of 1,452 in 2007. Taybeh is one of the about a dozen majority-Christian villages in the West Bank. "Taybeh" means "The goodly". In 1882, SWP suggested that Taybeh might have been ancient Ophrah. According to local tradition, Saladin met a delegation of its inhabitants during his wars against Crusaders. Impressed by the hospitality of the locals, he renamed the village Taybeh, or "goodly" in Arabic. Another version of the story is that he was charmed by their goodness and the beauty of their faces, ordering the village to be renamed Tayyibat al-Isem ("beautiful of name") instead of what sounded like Afra ("full of dust").
