The name "Dezful" has been derived from the two words "Dej" + "Pol" which mean "barracks" and "bridge". After the entrance of Arabs in Iran about 1300 years ago they called this city "Dezful" because in the Arabic language there is not phones of "zh" and "p". Through history the name dej became dez. It is believed that before the city was formed it was a castle (barracks) protecting the strategic bridge across the dez river. The remains of this castle are not known to exist anymore (the old part of the city adjacent to the bridge is called the "Qaleh" district which means castle in Persian).
