== Etymology == Conder asserts that the name Nehalin is derived from the biblical Hebrew נחל (nahal), "torrent", which has since been replaced by the Arabic word wadi but occasionally preserved in the name Nehalin, which designates locations in or close to large torrents. Palmer also writes that the name Nehalin is derived from Hebrew נחל, which he translates as "a water-course".
