Erbil
Names

Erbil is the romanization of the city's Ottoman Turkish name اربيل, still used as the city's name in official English translation. The Modern Standard Arabic form of the name is Arbīl (أربيل). In classical antiquity, it was known as Arbela in Latin and Arbēla (Ἄρβηλα) in Greek, derived from Old Persian Arbairā (𐎠𐎼𐎲𐎡𐎼𐎠𐏓), from Assyrian Arbaʾilu, from Sumerian Urbilum (𒌨 𒉈 𒈝 𒆠, ur-bi₂-lum).
