Mapologies#Dill is an herb originated in North Africa, Iran, and the Arabian Peninsula. The name in these regions is Semitic, such as Arabic شبت (šibitt) and Azerbaijani şüyüd. In Europe the plant’s name falls into three main groups. The first group is Germanic-derived, giving English, German and Swedish "dill". This root also appears in some non‑Germanic languages, for example Latvian dilles.
