Yes...some are called Phalange as well but that it is a political term.

There are (were before the Shiites took over most of Lebanon) Greek Catholics and Greek Orthodox as well in the Lebanese Phalange. (there are Phalangists in Spain as well just to further confuse anyone..lol)

I am distantly descended from early 1800s Maronites. There are many Maronite descendents in the South with the family surname Thomas....my maternal grandfather's surname.

PS:....lots of Syrian Maronites in the South as well....in the merchant class.....Simons, Iupes, Saabs, Sykes, Avalons, lots of names that end in -ish like Hankish.
