Origins
Las primeras formas con las que aparece documentada la localidad datan de inicios del siglo XIII, durante el reinado de Alfonso IX de León, cuando la localidad es recogida como Vaguilafointe (en mayo de 1215), Baguilafuont (en noviembre de 1216) y Baguila Fonte (en diciembre de 1229). Como derivación de las mismas, en 1281 aparece ya la forma Baguila Fuente, más parecida al actual Babilafuente, que habría evolucionado desde dichos topónimos con que aparece mencionada la localidad en la documentación del siglo XIII.
