How did Babylon get its name?
The name "Babylon" has never changed. It refers to a specific Kingdom/Empire that existed in the region of Mesopotamia, but not the land that it controlled. When it was overthrown by the Achaemenid Persians in the 530s BCE, the empire disappeared and its citizens simply became Babylonian Persians or splintered back into their diverse pre-Babylonian ethnicities such as Judean, Aramean, Assyrian, etc. The name Iraq did not come to the fore until the Arab conquest of the area from the Sassanid Persians in 634 C.E. and Iraq simply was the Arabic name for Mesopotamia (which was a Greek name for the region).

Does Babylon relate to the tower of babel?
ANSWER: Yes, Babylon is the system that came out of Babel. Nimrod, the chief mason of the building of the tower of Babel told people that they were cowards if they trusted in God. Nimrod was "in front of" God in a negative way. In other words, he was against God. By the same token Babylon is the control system against God. It is a control system that girdles the globe in iniquity (lawlessness). God doesn't tell Pagans to come out of Babylon, but rather he admonishes his people to come out of her (Revelation 18:2-4).
