Gelinkaya (Arabic: کفر خۆار, romanized: Kafarḥuvar)[1] is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Midyat, Mardin Province, Turkey.

[4][5] The village is populated by Kurds and Mhallami.

[6] The word 'Keferhuvar' means 'village with white stones' in Syriac.

It became the administrative center for the Mhallami in the 1850s when a beg from nearby Dêrizbin settled in the village, after a conflict with his relatives.

After the Assyrian genocide and in the 1920s, Kurds from nearby villages such as Deywan and Helex but also from the Sinjar region arrived to the village.
