According to [[Edward Henry Palmer|E. H. Palmer]], the name means "the convent of Amis."<ref>Palmer, 1881, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp00conduoft#page/20/mode/1up 20]</ref>
 
==History==
In 1243, during the [[Crusader era]], Deir Aames (called ''Derreme'', or ''Dairrhamos'') belonged to [[Venice]].<ref> Röhricht, 1893, RHH pp. [https://archive.org/details/registaregnihier00rhuoft/page/289/mode/1up 289]-[https://archive.org/stream/registaregnihier00rhuoft#page/297/mode/1up 297], no. 1114; cited in Pringle, 1997, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=-_NbE5obqRMC&pg=PA46 46]</ref>
In the early 1860s [[Ernest Renan]] noted: "'At Deir Amis there is a large basin of great stones, and a portion of wall which seems
of [[Crusader states|Crusading]] times. At the church there is a drawing like the stone of [[Aitit]]. As the stone of Deir Amis is certainly Christian, so must also be that of Aitit."<ref>Renan, 1864, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=UpxZAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA640 640]; as cited in Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp01conduoft#page/114/mode/1up 114]</ref>

On an ancient [[lintel]] is carved a double cross in a circle."<ref>Guérin, 1880, pp. [http://archive.org/stream/descriptiongogr00gugoog#page/n427/mode/1up 387]-8; as cited in Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p.
