دبيل

دَبِيل (name)

Etymology: In most of the time this city was relevant and the Arabs have expanded thus far it was chiefly populated by Kurds, so potentially mediated by Proto-Kurdish, otherwise obtained via Middle Persian during the conquest of the Sasanian Empire culminating in the Arab conquest of Armenia, which must have obtained this word from Parthian as the settlement was built 335 under Arsacid rule, however searches for Iranian origin have been in vain, leading to the suspicion of the Arsacids bringing a Turkmen name from their homeland. As Ardabil was even less known it is neither known whether it contains the same word.
