Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt
Karmon writes in 1960, referring to Conder and Kitchener's "Memoirs", that the name "Mebhel" registered by Jacotin in 1799 was replaced by "Kefr Misr" ('Egypt[ian] village') after the site being settled by Egyptians during the decade under the rule of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt (1831-1841).
