Abu's claims in the comment on the post below.

Abu claims that the lehem in Bethlehem comes from the Aarbic for meat. He is, I believe, only partially correct or even historically incorrect.

Bethlehem is a Hebrew word and is the name used in the Bible. Today's residents use the Arabic name Beit Lachem. Beth and Beit mean house. Lachem refers to meat. Lehem refers to bread. Hence the meaning House of Bread or House of Meat.
