Abu Hummus, also Abu Humus, Abu Hommos, Abu Homos,[2] Abou Homs (Arabic: أبو حمص) is a town in Beheira Governorate, Egypt, an administrative center of markaz Abu Hummus.
The old name of the town is Shubra Bar (Arabic: شبرا بار) or Shunbar (Arabic: شُنْبَار)[3] which Ramzi derives from Chabriou Kome (Ancient Greek: Χαβρίου Κώμη) named after Chabrias.[4] Gauthier derives the modern name from Egyptian hap-m-s "which hides what is in it".[5]
