Batroumine is a Lebanese village with a long history. This history is seen through the fine examples of traditional Lebanese houses located in the village center. Observing the preserved architecture shows that the village has roots in the Byzantine period.

Inhabitants claim the name Batroumine is derived from Bayt Roumine, "The House of Roumine," while Roumine was a Roman princess who may have lived in the village over a thousand years ago.

Others associate Batroumine as being the "House of the Nobles," which would have been a Roman base.
