*Connection with Babylon:
*'''Connection with Babylon''':Some researchers have suggested that "Karbala" is derived from the term "Kur Babel"; during the Chaldean period (612–539 BCE), this area was also called "Kur Babel," meaning "Temple of God," because at that time, large temples and places of worship of Christians existed in this region.<ref>Shamīm Yār. Vīzheh Zāʾirān-i ʿAtabāt ʿĀliyāt.,p. 29.</ref>
 
*'''Assyrian Origin''': Another theory suggests that "Karbala" comes from the Assyrian words "Karb," meaning sanctuary, and "El," meaning God; therefore, Karbala would mean "Sanctuary of God."<ref>Khalīlī, "Mawsūʿah al-ʿAtabāt al-Muqaddasa",vol. 8,p. 179.</ref>
