Gemayel (; Arabic: الجميّل; romanized: al-Jumayyil) is the name of a prominent Lebanese Maronite Christian family based in Bikfaya, Lebanon.




History


The family is mentioned in bureaucratic records as among the inhabitants of Bikfaya as early as the 16th century. Between that time until the 18th century they were the sheikhs of the village. In 1642 Sheikh Abu Aoun was the joint governor of the subdistrict of Bsharri alongside the Druze chief Zayn al-Din of the Sawwaf family.
