The Bustan el-Marj Regional Council website transcribes the village's name as "Kufur Masser" and translates "kufur" as "village" and "masser" as "Egypt", writing that the name originated with the ancient Egyptians who invaded the area in 605 BC under the rule of the Pharaoh Necho II. The Crusaders called the village "Kaphar Mazre". In a map dating from 1799, its name is recorded as "Mebhel" which means beauty.
