Hazboun


Hazboun and Hasbun are surnames from the Najajreh Bethlehem clan.
The Hazboun family is a distinguished lineage with origins tracing back to the Ottoman period in Palestine. The earliest documented ancestor of the family, Sulaiman Hazboun, was born in Ottoman Palestine in 1610, marking the establishment of a familial presence in the region.
According to these traditions, It is held that the family descends from noble bloodlines connected to the Portuguese royal family. Historical accounts within the family suggest that members of this royal lineage migrated to the Holy Land during the era of the Crusades, thereby establishing a direct and prestigious connection between the Hazboun family and European aristocracy.
