Talk:Deir al-Ghusun

meaning of name
Where did monastery of Christians come from? The literal translation is monastery of branches. I'm not familiar with the history of the village. --Fjmustak (talk) 22:05, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * From the website:

التسمية (دير الغصون):

يقال 						: 						 						 						جاءت التسمية من دير  للمسيحيين كان في عهد الرومان في  						موقع البلدة وكان اسم ابن ملك الرومان (غصون) ليصبح الاسم  						دير غصون

ويقال : 						إن أحد القساوسة قد أسمى ابنته غصون ، كون ديره الذي كان  						يسكنه وهو في رجم القسيس في منطقة باب السهل على بعد خمسين  						(50) م من شارع دير الغصون _ عتيل ، وهو على أرض المرحوم  						// عبد الرحمن محمود بدران // محاط بأشجار الزيتون ، فأخذت  						غصون من أغصان الشجر الكثيفة ، وسماها مع   دير العبادة ((  						دير الغصون )).

ويقال 						: 						 						 						ان بلدة دير الغصون تحيط بها أشجار الزيتون  اللوز  						والمزروعات ولكثرة الغصون سميت بالغصون وكلمة الدير من  						الديرة أي الضيعة ومنها دير الغصون.

Translation:

Three different stories about the history of the name:

1- A Roman-era Christian monastery existed in the location of the village, and the name of the Roman king's son was "Ghusun"

2- There was a priest who named his daughter "Ghusun", and he called the monastery "Deir Ghusun:"

3- The town is surrounded by olive trees (ghusun means branches) and thus the town was called Deir Ghusun (possibly from Dira, as in village)

 * I don't what I was thinking when I added the meaning. Which one do you think is best we use in the infobox? We should have an "Etymology" section regardless. Thank you for the major correction. --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:48, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Palmer, 1881, p. 181 calls it "The convent of the branches" . Cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:37, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Typo
I believe this place was found in the 1596 daftar. Alas, it is not mentioned in ''Hütteroth, Wolf-Dieter; Abdulfattah, Kamal (1977). Historical Geography of Palestine, Transjordan and Southern Syria in the Late 16th Century. Erlanger Geographische Arbeiten, Sonderband 5. Erlangen, Germany: Vorstand der Fränkischen Geographischen Gesellschaft.''....but it should have been there, on p. 137. The "p5" is in the position of Deir al-Ghusun on the maps (indicating a wholly Muslim village), but unfortunately forgotten in the table. Huldra (talk) 22:23, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
