Etymology
The name
Breuil-Cervinia is a fusion of two terms. On the one hand was
Breuil, in French, the original name of the place before the tourist settlement was built, derived from Valdôtain dialect
Breuill indicating a marshy meadow, or a field where streams are numerous.
Breuil and its derived forms have commonly appeared in
Aosta Valley 
, France, and Romandy. On the other was
Cervinia, the toponym that was given to the hamlet following the process of italianization of placenames in the Aosta Valley wanted by the fascist government, a reference to the
Matterhorn 
mountain (Italian:
Monte Cervino).
