It is a common name for the plant Phaseolus vulgaris and its edible seed. The Spaniard took it from the Arabic 1575; 1604; 1604; 1608; 1576; 1610; 1575; (al lubya) but actually has a Greek origin such as 955; 959; 946; 953; 959; 957; (lobion "lobulito [of the ear]") ), which was a way of calling the seeds fabaceae.
