The origin of the word “Rubite” is the Mozarabism word for “blackberry”. The village’s foundation preceded the Islamic invasion but there is nothing written on the settlement until the eleventh century when it was then known as Rubayt, which means “Little Rábita”. Under Nasrid rule, from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, the territory constituted by Sierra Lújar-Contraviesa corresponded to the Alpujarran Tahas of Sahuk, later called Suhayl by the Castilians (Great and Little Cehel).
