Rechknanay (Arabic: رشكنانيه) is a village in Southern Lebanon, located in Tyre District, Governorate of South Lebanon.
E. H. Palmer wrote that the name comes from a personal name.[1]
In 1875, during the late Ottoman era, Victor Guérin noted it as a small village of Metualis.[2]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small village built of stone, containing about 100 Metawileh, on side of valley, surrounded by figs, olives, and arable land. Water is obtained from cisterns and the spring of 'Ain el Tozeh."[3] They further noted: "The rocks to the west of the village are cut into wine-presses, cisterns, etc.; probably an ancient place."[4]
