==Etymology== The name is derived from the word Enabta, which meant "grape" or "berry" in Aramaic and Syriac. The long vowel -ā ending, typically reflecting the Aramaic absolute state, a morphological feature widely attested in Palestinian toponyms. Many grape presses have been found in the hills around the village.
