meaning of name[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

Typo[edit]

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)[reply]
