An alternative term for a follower of Babism; a believer in the Babi faith.
From 'Bab' (the religious title) plus the '-ite' suffix (from Hebrew '-ite' or Latin '-ita'), commonly used in English for adherents of religions or movements (as in 'Israelite' or 'Shiite').
Different religious movements use different suffixes to name their followers—'Babite' and 'Babist' are variant forms showing how English allows multiple ways to create the same meaning, reflecting historical translation choices.
