Babel
From the Scriptures themselves
Babel is a name named in Scripture. Hitchcock's Bible Names (1869) gives the name's meaning as “confusion; mixture”. The Scriptures below are what the Bible itself says — they are the whole of this entry, gathered from the King James text.
Genesis 10:10 — And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 11:9 — Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
