The main language spoken is [[Azerbaijani language|Azerbaijani]]. The name of the city may mean "1000 houses" (from Turkic "bin/min", meaning "1000 / thousand", and "eb/ev", meaning "house"). A similar, albeit more likely etymology, is from '''"ban ev"''' (a large house / tent), an expression mentioned in "Kitab-i Diyarbakriyyah".
The main language spoken is [[Azerbaijani language|Azeri]]. The name of the city, however, is like most other towns in East Azerbaijan, of the Old [[Azerbaijani language|Azari]]/[[Tat language (Caucasus)|Tati]] origin, means "1000 houses". The meaning "water base" can be considered true because back when the lake Urmia had not lost more than half of its water, digging ground for 5 meters gained your access to water in Bonab. but it's not an original meaning.
