From Middle Dutch brabant, from Old Dutch *brācbant (attested in Latin as pāgus brācbatensis), from Frankish, a compound of Proto-Germanic *brēk-, *brekaną (“fallow, originally 'to break'”) + *bant-, *bantō, *banti (“district, region”), which could be from Proto-Indo-European *bʰonHdéh₂ (“beneficial, good”), from *bʰHdús.[1]

The latter element is also found in other toponyms such as Oosterbant, Swifterbant and Teisterbant.
