Barcelonnette ((オック語:Barcilona de Provença)) is a commune of France and a subprefecture in the department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is located in the southern French Alps, at the crossroads between Provence, Piedmont and the Dauphiné, and is the largest town in the Ubaye Valley. The town's inhabitants are known as ''Barcelonnettes''. ==Toponymy== Barcelonnette was founded and named in 1231, by Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence.〔Albert Dauzat and Charles Rostaing, ''Dictionnaire étymologique des noms de lieux en France'', Éd. Larousse, 1968, pp. 1693–1694.〕 While the town's name is generally seen as a diminutive form of Barcelona in Catalonia, Albert Dauzat and Charles Rostaing point out an earlier attestation of the name ''Barcilona'' in Barcelonnette in around 1200, and suggest that it is derived instead from two earlier stems signifying a mountain, *''bar'' and *''cin'' (the latter of which is also seen in the name of Mont Cenis).〔Charles Rostaing, ''Essai sur la toponymie de la Provence (depuis les origines jusqu’aux invasions barbares'', Laffite Reprints, Marseille, 1973 (1st edition 1950), p 91〕〔Ernest Nègre, ''Toponymie générale de la France : étymologie de 35 000 noms de lieux'', Genève : Librairie Droz, 1990. Collection ''Publications romanes et françaises'', volume CVCIII. Volume III : Formations dialectales (suite) ; formations françaises § 30208 § 30208〕 In the Vivaro-Alpine dialect of Occitan, the town is known as ''Barcilona de Provença'' or more rarely ''Barciloneta'' according to the classical norm; under the Mistralian norm it is called ''Barcilouna de Prouvença'' or ''Barcilouneto''. In ''Valéian'' (the dialect of Occitan spoken in the Ubaye Valley), it is called ''Barcilouna de Prouvença'' or ''Barcilounéta''.〔François Arnaud, Gabriel Maurin, ''Le langage de la vallée de Barcelonnette'', Paris : Champion, 1920 - Re-edited in 1973, Marseille: Laffitte Reprints〕〔Jean-Rémy Fortoul, ''Ubaye, la mémoire de mon pays : les gens, les bêtes, les choses, le temps'', Barcelonnette: Sabença de la Valeia/Mane: Alpes de Lumière, 1995. ISBN 2-908103-17-6; ISBN 2-906162-28-0〕 ''Barcino Nova'' is the town's Latin name meaning "new Barcelona"; ''Barcino'' was the Roman name for Barcelona in Catalonia from its foundation by Emperor Augustus in 10 BC,〔(Chapter 2: Colonia Julia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino, Romans at Mons Taber ), Town Hall of Barcelona〕 and it was only changed to ''Barcelona'' in the Middle Ages. The inhabitants of the town are called ''Barcelonnettes'', or ''Vilandroises'' in Valéian.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barcelonnette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
