Fih (Arabic: فيع, or Fiaa) is a Greek Orthodox Christian village[2] situated in Koura District of Lebanon.
The name "Fih" is derived from an Aramaic root. Its meanings include "the place where the sheep bleat", "the abundance and exuberance", "the beautiful and charming" and "of wind and breeze".[3]
