According to E. H. Palmer in 1881, El Yehûdîyeh meant "the Jews" or "Jewish woman."[1]
History edit
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "A small village, containing about 100 Metawileh, situated in a valley, with olives, figs, and arable land. There is a spring and cisterns at the village."[2] They further noted that south of the village was a perennial spring, built up with masonry.[3]
