About Bayqoun

Bayqoun is a Chouf-area locality in Mount Lebanon.

Name & origin

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.
