Bdebba (Arabic: بدبا) is a village in Koura District of Lebanon. It has a Maronite and Greek Orthodox population.
== Etymology == The word Bdebba has Syriac origins and is formed of two parts: "Bet" and "Dibba”. “Bet” means “house” (بيت) and “Dibba” means “bear” (الدب). Hence, Bdebba is the house of the bear (بيت الدب). This etymological analysis can be supported by archeological finding in the area. Indeed, an excavation by a team from Tokyo University Scientific Expedition to Western Asia in the Keoue area, a river bed that separates Bdebba and Bterram, and the artifacts found led to the conclusion that the occupants of the site were probably big bear hunters using small points.
