Spanish: habitational name from the city of this name, the capital
of Andalusia, in southwestern Spain. The city is extremely ancient,
having reputedly been founded by the Phoenicians. The origin of the
name is obscure, presumably Phoenician. It is first recorded in the
Latin form Hispalis, which was adopted in Arabic as
Isbilia, and thence into early Spanish as Sibilia, now
Sevilla.
