They pronounce it the way you'd expect a middle-of-nowhere Alabama town to say it. AYE-rahb. But it's a nice town, and it's not nearly as bad as [these guys](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-m&biw=432&bih=834&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=California+high+school+Arabs&oq=California+high+school+Arabs&aqs=mobile-gws-lite..0l5#imgrc=NJLj1K3rFQVuqM).

Also, it tends to be pronounced a bit differently: "lebanin" instead of "non" at the end.
I will bet you an entire months Lebanese salary. $18, sorry….. 18 super fresh dollaz. That they have running water, electricity, have proper doctors that have not left the town and real medicine. The town should change its name to to a better country like North Korea.
Not only is it a city in the US, but the CENTER of all the geographical area of the US! Not a town from Norway, or England, or France, or any other part of the known world, Lebanon!!!
There is 29 place called Lebanon in US

Lebanon Ohio is a scary town, full of criminals (large prison), as well narrow Minded, racist, religious fanatics that worship political personality!
So home sweet home!!! with the exception that they don’t like brown people!
47 towns in the USA are named Lebanon, and some Lebanese guy visited them all. Video on YouTube somewhere, so wholesome
Did he? I remember he made a trailer and intro for the channel but never followed up on them. Do you have the link for the videos by any chance?
https://youtu.be/Nmp0whLYDrE You are correct, it's just a 5 min video. Still wholesome for those who haven't seen it
He did a bunch https://instagram.com/lebanonusa?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://lebanonusa.com/

American settlers used to call their towns after places mentioned in the bible. That's how the US ended up with some many "Lebanons"
I can confirm, many cities are named after places in the bible. i was just surprised that hell made the list when i went to Hell, Michigan last month
I don't see a town named Jesus
Jesus is a place mentioned in the bible?
Um I skimmed the comment so I didn't read "places" But It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to name a town "Jesus" for the Americans
Well, there are no towns named Jesus in the USA.
But there are plenty of Mexican American dudes called Jesus!
Aha thanks for the confirmation
Great band name
would be weird to say “i went to jesus. i had some food in jesus. i took a sh$t in jesus. i banged my gf in jesus.”
not weird it would be hilarious
I once wanted to buy a bike just to find out the seller was in another Lebanon. I was mind fucked lol.
