Meaning of the baby name GIBIL.

  

GIBIL.  A Babylonian deity.  Gibil was a fire-god.  But Nusku (q.v.) appears also as a fire-god, and the two seem to have been amalgamated.  Both gods are sons of Anu (q.v.).  Gibil or Nusku is the chief counsellor of the gods and the god of civilization.  He is the founder of cities.  It is he who (as fire) brings sacrifices into the presence of the gods.  He came to be identified with Nergal (q.v.). (An Encyclopedia of Religions, Canney, 1921)
