See Babylon for an account of the historical city.

Babel (Hebrew: בָּבֶל; Bavel) is the name used in the Hebrew Bible for the city of Babylon, notable as the location of the Tower of Babel. In Genesis 11:9, the name of Babel is etymologized by association with the Hebrew verb balal, "to confuse or confound": Babel is regarded as a contraction of *Balbel. The actual etymology of the name is from bab-ilu, Akkadian for "gate of the god".
