Waterloo ((:watɛʁlo),〔Jean-Marie Pierret, ''Phonétique historique du français et notions de phonétique générale'', Peeters, Louvain-la-Neuve, 1994, p. 103.〕 (:ˈwaːtərloː), (ワロン語:Waterlô)) is a municipality in the province of Walloon Brabant, Belgium, which in 2011 had a population of 29,706 and an area of . It is north of Braine-l'Alleud, which is the site of the Battle of Waterloo, where resurgent Napoleon was finally defeated in 1815. Waterloo is a multilingual town; the commune offers services in French, Dutch, and English.
==Etymology==
The placename is of Dutch origin. The first element is most likely ''water'', but it should be understood here as "wet". The second element is ''lo(o)'', an ancient word for "forest" or "clearing in a forest", coming from the Latin words ''ラテン語:lucus'' (forest) or ''ラテン語:lucum'' (clearing in a forest), cognate with the English placename suffix ''-ley'' or independent name Leigh. The early settlement was located on a marshy clearing in the Sonian Forest.
