 Eth-baal
    with Baal, a king of Sidon (B.C. 940-908), father of Jezebel,
    who was the wife of Ahab (1 Kings 16:31). He is said to have
    been also a priest of Astarte, whose worship was closely allied
    to that of Baal, and this may account for his daughter's zeal in
    promoting idolatry in Israel. This marriage of Ahab was most
    fatal to both Israel and Judah. Dido, the founder of Carthage,
    was his granddaughter.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)

 Ethbaal, toward the idol, or with Baal
