dynasty pharaoh Sneferu (fl. 2600 BC)[6] and as Gubla () in the Akkadian cuneiform Amarna letters to the 18th-dynasty pharaohs Amenhotep III and IV. In the 1st millennium BC, its name appeared in Phoenician and Punic inscriptions as Gebal (, gbl); in the Hebrew Bible as Geval (); and in Syriac as gbl(). The name seems to derive from gb (, "well") and l (, "god"), the latter a word that could variously refer to any of the Canaanite gods or to their leader in particular. The name thus seems to have meant the "Well" or "Source of the God".
Its present Arabic name Jibayl () or Jbeil ( [bejl]) is a direct descendant of these earlier names, although apparently modified by a misunderstanding of the name as the triliteral root gbl or jbl, meaning "mountain". During the Crusades, this name appeared in European records as Gibelet and Giblet. This name was used for Byblos Castle and its associated lordship. The Phoenician city, known to the Greeks as Bblos () and to the Romans as Byblus, was important for their import of papyrus from Egypt.The English word "Bible", ultimately deriving from the Greek words bblos () and biblon(),
