Meaning
Origin
The name Brabant first appeared in the 10th century to refer to a region in the south of the Netherlands. It later became a duchy within the Holy Roman Empire, and was divided into the Duchy of Brabant-Antwerp and the Duchy of Brabant-Brussels in the 14th century.
After the Belgian Revolution in 1830, Brabant was divided into the Belgian provinces of Antwerp, Flemish Brabant, Walloon Brabant, and part of Brussels. The name Brabant continues to be used to refer to these areas today, and is also found in the names of various towns and cities in the region, such as Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch.
