Estate holders and feudal lords by origin, today they are business owners, artists and land owners throughout the country. The surname Bustros is believed to spring out of another name of Greek origin, Silvestros, meaning the Savior. Coming from Greece in the 1620-1630 period, a Silvestros Bishop landed in Enfeh, in north Lebanon, then settled in the old city of Beirut. The actual name is sometimes preceded with the French article "de" meaning "of the house of"; although its use is diminishing today amongst members of the family. Several members of the Bustros Family were among the founders of Spartali & Co, an important 19th century export-import company which is active up to the present. "Palais Bustros", or the Bustros Palace, originally one of the residences of the Fadlallah branch, is today one of the historical landmarks of Beirut. The palace houses the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants. The palace of Nicolas Bustros, a 1930s landmark, was demolished during the civil war (1975/1990). A third palace belonging to the Abdallah branch, has been turned into a Fitness Club.
