Etymology 1
13th century. From Hispanic Medieval Latin baralia (“dispute, discussion, quarrel, litigation”) and baraliare (“to plead, to sue”), of unknown origin. 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.
