History :

Legend has it there are three possible root words for the name of the town Mieh Mieh:
First: It stems from the Phoenician language “Mio Mia”, which means a place where there is mummification water; In fact, there are many Phoenician tombs located at Beirut National Museum that were found by the Missionary Dr. George Ford while building Gerard Institute for the boys (1881) and other facilities and halls on Mieh Mieh land. This is the most likely explanation for the name of the town.
Second: It also comes from the Arabic language meaning “mieyya ”, which means one hundred. During a census of the number of villages that the Druze won in war during the 1800s in the Iqlim al-Tuffah; Mieh Mieh the village, was number 200 on the roster. They presented their winnings in a batch format of 100. We won \"mieyya\" and this is the second \"Mieyya\". So, it was named Mieh Mieh.
Third: Due to abundance of water in the area, the village was named Mayya w Mayya, meaning water and water in Assyrian.
