The inhabitants are mostly belong to the Al-Kilani family. The village was named after Sheikh Zeid Kilani, the late leader of the Kilani family. The village was the site of a 1935 shootout between the Arab resistance leader Izz al-Din al-Qassam and British Mandatory police, which ended with al-Qassam killed.

In the 1945 statistics the population of Nazlet Zeid was counted with that of Ya'bad, in an official land and population survey.[5][6][7][8]
