It serves as the administrative center for the Kufranjah District. "Kufranjah" is composed of two parts. "Kafr" is a Syriac word that translates to "village." Some scholars posit that the word may have originated from Canaanite or Aramaic. The second part, "Najah," is derived from "Ferenjah", the Frenchmen who were captured by Izz al-Din Usama, one of Saladin Al-Ayyubi's commanders. He provided them with temporary accommodation in the Kufranjah valley.
