==Meaning of name==
It is speculated that the name ''Zahlé'' is derived from the [[Arabic language|Arabic]] verb {{lang|ar|زحل}} ''zahhala'', which means ''to push away, to dislodge, to displace''. The occasional landslides which take place in the area around the city may have been the origin of its name.{{Fact|date=[[5 June]] [[2007]]}}
