Completely wrong name

[edit]

Where on Earth did this weird "Sarahiya House" come from? Such a word does not exist, period. The popular name is "Saraya", w/o House (that's probably 1 to 1 translation from Hebrew "Beit"; doesn't apply in English). "New Saraya" was common, as it replaced Abu Nabbut's "Old Saraya". In English it's simply "Town Hall". Nobody will ever look for it under the fantasy name "Sarahiya", even less "Sarahiya House". Arminden (talk) 02:56, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
