IN the English language, the word ”babel” is both a proper noun and an English word in its own right.

As a noun, it denotes a place in ancient times where the people tried to build a tower so high that it would reach heaven. The project was so grandiose, Jehovah rejected the Tower of Babel and punished the people with so many languages, they could not understand each other.
