Etymology

13th century. From Hispanic Medieval Latin baralia (“dispute, discussion, quarrel, litigation”) and baraliare (“to plead, to sue”),[1] of unknown origin.[2] Given its presence in local toponimy in composition with the element -bre (from Proto-Celtic *brixs, "fort; hill") it probably proceeds from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /baˈɾaʎa̝/
