Ejdabrine

Equidistantly, the village shares similarity in name with two other villages not geographically far from it. Abrine and Ijdabra are the two villages, both of which are located in the Batroun District. Abrine (Arabic: عبرين), Ijdabra (Arabic: إجدَعَبر), and Ejdabrine (Arabic: إجدَعِبرين). "Abr" (Arabic: عبر) means across. "Ijd" or "Ejd" (Arabic: إجد) means [go] find. The "ine" (Arabic: ين) is a common Arabic tool used to make a word refer to two in which "Abrine" would mean "two paths". So Ejdabrine in whole would literally mean, "[go] find two paths". If the meaning of the name truly is this, geographically speaking, one logical explanation would go back to the Jaouz river trees in which the name is in reference to that. Another possibility of the name is the literal entrance to the village, which, in turn, is hard to explain how it might reference to the name, and that might be a reason why the name may not actually refer to the village's entrance. Of course, the translation is not limited to that as "Ejd" could mean a variety of things. Several of those meanings could be "renewed", "grandfather", "[I] found", and, in Arabic, the word is a variation of "prowess" or "strength". Same with "Abr" in which the word could also mean a variety of things. Another possibility is that this name comes from another language or is a mix of Arabic with a different language. The different languages could vary from Phoenician (Greek), French, Spanish, and Aramaic.^{[citation needed]}
