Jahiliyeh is a Chouf-area settlement in Mount Lebanon.
Tradition relates that the land of Jahiliyeh was once rugged and full of wolves. A shepherd came and killed many of the wolves there, so he was nicknamed Abu Diab ('father of wolves'); he built a house, married, and his descendants carried the surname Abu Diab, a family that still lives in the town.
