== Etymology == The name Ta' Xbiex is said to have originated from it exact geographical location as it faces the rising sun. The Maltese word '<nowiki/>''Tbexbex'<nowiki/>'' is descriptive of the sun as it rises. Others say the name might originate from word '''Xbiek''<nowiki/>' meaning fishing nets as would seem appropriate from its inhabitants being able to sail and fish freely from its shores.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ta' Xbiex in Malta|url=https://www.myguidemalta.com/sights/ta-xbiex|access-date=2021-03-18|website=My Guide Malta|language=en}}</ref> Indeed, its coat of arms depicts a ship's wheel, further confirming its connection with the sea.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ta' Xbiex - Coat of arms (crest) of Ta' Xbiex|url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/Ta%27_Xbiex|access-date=2021-03-18|website=www.heraldry-wiki.com|language=en}}</ref>
