Bayyad (Arabic: بياض) is a village in Southern Lebanon, located in Tyre District, Governorate of South Lebanon.

Origin of name[edit]

E. H. Palmer wrote that the name means "the white spot".[1]

History[edit]

In 1881, during the late Ottoman era, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A village, built of stone, with many ruined houses [..], containing about 100 Metawileh, situated on hill-top, surrounded by fig-trees, olives, and arable land ; water supplied from cisterns."[2]

They further noted: "There are many ruined houses at this village, and a lintel with three crosses upon it, the centre being the largest. Foundations of rough-hewn stones of some building."[3]
