Uncertain. Possibly from metathesis of iblis(“Iblis, Satan, devil”), due to association of snails with the devil and evil spirits. Compare Kurdish guhşeytan (lit. “Devil's ear”), şeytanok(literally “little devil”) or Kryz term for “snail”, шийтӏан, from Arabic شَيْطَان(šayṭān, “devil”). Udiаьлбиз(älbiz) and Khinalugилбиз(ilbiz) are probably borrowings from Azerbaijani.
