Kafr Takhārīm

There are several opinions about its name. The first: Father Shalhat believes that its name is from Aramaic and its origin is (Kafr Harma) meaning: the village of Harem. Harem is from Aramaic and means: sanctuary, prohibition and vow. As for the meaning of (Dahrma), the letter dal is an addition tool, and (Harma) means to deviate from the path taken. As for the second opinion: as some of its people claim: that its name came from (Kaf al-Khairin). As for the third opinion: that its name is from Kafr Takharim, and this word is composed of two parts: (Kafr) which means farm, and (Takharim) which is the plural of Takhrim, which is the cleft or cut, and its plural is Takharim. Thus, its name becomes: (the farm of the valleys). This applies to the reality of its topography completely.
