Etymology
The name Regavim is taken from the Hebrew word 'regev', meaning a very small piece of land or patch of soil, a word used in a Zionist poem about reclaiming the Land of Israel, "dunam by dunam, regev by regev."
History
The kibbutz group was established in 1947 by immigrants from Italy and North Africa who were members of the Habonim Dror youth movement. They first settled on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Butaymat in July 1948, before moving to the land of another depopulated Palestinian village, Qannir, in 1949.
