The name Batroun derives from the Greek, Botrys (also spelled Bothrys), which was later Latinized to Botrus. Historians believe that the Greek name of the town originates from the Phoenician word, bater, which means to cut and it referes to the maritime wall that the Phoenicians built in the sea to protect them from tidal waves.
Other historians believe that the name of the town is derivative of the Phoenician words, beit truna, which translates to house of the chief.
