The origin of the name "Rabat" is...?

[edit]

"The village was called Rabat since the 8th century." What is the origin of the name Rabat? Is it the Semitic (Arabic) word for fortified town? If so, how come? I understand from the French article that this was a border castle facing the "Sarazins" coming over the Pyrenees, so an Arabic origin wouldn't be out of the question, although probably unlikely. As of now, there is plenty of detail for the later-added "les-Trois-Seigneurs", but nothing on Rabat itself. Arminden (talk) 10:06, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The "History" section is practically empty - for such a place!
