Bibliophile comes from two Greek words, BIBLOS, meaning "book" and "PHILEO", meaning "love".

It's the translation from Greek: Biblios meaning book and phile meaning lover or friend.

For the same reason that a Mexican library is called a bibliotecha.

The word "bible" means "book". The suffix "phile" means "to love".
