Muhajbib, Mhaibib, (Arabic: محيبيب) is a small village in the Marjeyoun District in southern Lebanon.
E. H. Palmer wrote that the name Neby Muheibîb meant "the prophet Muheibîb", "beloved".[1]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Neby Muheibib as: "a small village round the stone Neby, containing about seventy Moslems, situated on top of ridge, with olives and arable land; there are two cisterns in the village."[2]
