From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From בַּעַל (baʿal, “lord, master; Baal”) + זְבוּב (zvuv, “fly”, the insect), appearing in the Hebrew Scriptures as the purported name of a deity worshipped by the Philistines in Ekron. It's likely this was not the god's actual name and instead was a polemic against the deity, possibly by associating the figure with defecation (hence flies).
