Etymology
The word lablab comes from an old local name for the bean used in parts of Africa and Asia, and plant experts kept that name. A helpful way to remember it is that the name repeats the same sound (lab + lab), so lablab simply names the bean people grow and eat, also known as the hyacinth bean.
