Quiet funny. The word, Babylon (ancient city of Mesopotamia which in Arabic and Persian is called Baabel) is derived from the word, Tabalbol, which means, “mixing the languages”.
“For this reason, that place was Baabel (Babylon), meaning that the languages become mixed there.” — Majma-ol Tavarikh-ol Qassass (Arabic)
