Proper name

IPA: [bɪˈbrak.tɛ] [Classical-Latin], [biˈbrak.te] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain; perhaps from a Celtic (Gaulish) word for “beaver," from Proto-Celtic *bebrus, or from the term biffractus (“twice fortified”, literally “double force-breaking”), from bi + fractus, though this is less probable, as the battlement was not likely to have two walls.
