From that place, God scattered them all over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city. 
Vayafets Adonay otam misham al-peney chol-ha'arets vayachdelu livnot ha'ir.

11:9

He named it Babel, because this was the place where God confused the world's language. It was from there that God dispersed [humanity] over all the face of the earth.
