Ain Qani is a Chouf-area settlement in Mount Lebanon.
Frēha suggested the name is Syriac meaning 'spring of the reed.' Tradition holds the village is called 'Ain Qani,' meaning 'spring of the channels,' given its many springs and water channels. It has caves, grottoes, rock carvings, five old water mills, and a centuries-old oak known as the 'Khalwat al-Hadd oak.'
Ain Qani was the birthplace of Sitt Nazira Jumblatt, who took up the family's leadership after her husband's death and carried its historic role for around a quarter of a century. Large old buildings belonging to the Jumblatts stand in the village, alongside houses of the Zein el-Din and Hakim families.
