According to a historical book named The Sheiks Chemors written by father Aghnatios Khoury around 1950, the family Gharios of Chiyah is formally called "Gharios Habbaki Chemor" due to the village of Beit Habbak in the region of Byblos.
The first son went to the mountainous village of Baskinta and because he came from Beit Habbak, he was called "Habbaki", which later became "Hobeika".
