Bayqoun is a Chouf-area locality in Mount Lebanon.
The name appears to combine a Semitic element 'bayt' (house/place) with the Greek 'eikon' (icon, which entered Semitic languages as 'ayqouna'), giving 'house or place of the icon.' Habiqa and Armala traced it to Syriac meaning 'hermitage,' while Frēha proposed a Syriac reading as the place of minting coins or making icons.
Beiqoun was among the villages emptied during the civil war of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and among those covered by the return-and-compensation programme that followed.
