Does anyone know if this town was named after the young jewish woman that was murdered by hostile Arab villagers while she was trying to develop the town in the 30s.Trucker11 (talk) 18:00, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure the identification with the fictional kibbutz Gan Daphna in "Exodus" by Leon Uris is entirely correct. In the novel, the name derives from the death of a young woman, as is also suggested here for the actual kibbutz, but the fictional Gan Daphna is located on a mountain as explained on this Talk page, which this kibbutz is not. Perhaps the identification with the fictional Gan Daphna should be limited to the name.
