Bechaalani Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The family name refers to the village in Lebanon where the family's ancestors once lived, Bcheale, Lebanon. Many of the 16th century residents of that village went to Southern Lebanon, many to a village named Salima. From there, probably half the village residents emigrated, mostly to the USA, Mexico, or Brazil. There are descendants today in most countries of the world. The earliest named resident referred to a being from Bcheale was a Maronite man named Nasr, one of whose sons, Rezk, and later a grandson, Younes, were executed by the Muslim rulers for being Christian. See the book, My Lebanese Ancestors, by Father Stephen Beshelany; published in hardcover in 2004 and in paperback in 2014. These are English translations of the original Arabic book published in 1948 by Father Beshelany.
