Babylon is Akkadian "babilani" which means "the Gate of God(s)" and it
became
the capital of the land of Babylonia. The etymology of the name Babel in
the
Bible means "confused" (Gen 11:9) and throughout the Bible, Babylon was a
symbol
of the confusion caused by godlessness. The name Babylon is the Greek
form of
the Hebrew name Babel.Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
