the meaning of the name is not clear, there are some hyphotesis or legends:
-romans called Hispalis because its old citizens (tribe of turdetanos or tartessos) called Ispal
-there is also the legend about Sevilla was founded by Hercules and gave it to his son Hispalo [truth is it was founded (as a city, there were some villages already)by a phoenician merchant)

The Romans called it "Hispalis" but in the year 712 the Arabs called it "Isbilya", which is from its actual name comes from.
