The Charabati family
At the end of the eighteenth century the nine families: Safi, Obeid, Ghandour, Abou Hayla, Khater, Chaanine, Saleh, Hayek and Arid were called Charabati for unknown and historically unspecific reasons.
The word Charabati is derived from the Syriac "Shorboto" meaning the tribe, the union or the agreement. Some of the families such as Obeid, Chaanine, Saleh and Arid kept this name.
The Charabati family only exists in Baabdat.This name wasn't found abroad before 1920.
