Etymology
From en fr Nabeul, from en ar نَابِل (en aeb نِابِل Nēbel), from en gkm Νεάπολις, from en grc νέος νέᾱ́ new + grc πόλῐς city, city-state. en Nablus Naples Napoli Neapoli Neapolis.
French spelling "eu" probably comes down to Tunisian phoneme [ɘ] that colonists might have likened to French phoneme /œ ~ ø/. The component survives in several place names and personal names for the same phonetic reason but are gradually becoming compromised for 'e'. In fact, the lemma is often re-spelled "Nebel" or "Neebel".
