Borrowed both from French baboul and from Hindi बबूल (babūl, “babul tree”), probably ultimately from Sanskrit वव्वोल (vavvola, “acacia”).

Babul (बाबुल pronounced baabul) is an old Hindi term for father indicating a daughter's affection. In south Asian countries (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), the conclusion of a daughter's marriage, marked by the bidaai (farewell) ceremony, is a profoundly sad occasion, because after this she leaves her father's house and permanently relocates to her husband's family. The moment thus marks the end of her past life and the beginning of a new one. The expression of this sentiment varies in south Asian culture, but is usually in the formed of hushed sobs, while maintaining sober calmness and composure.
