Etymology
Rebais has historically been attested in Latin as ''Rebascis'' in 635/636 and ''Rebascum'' in 1214. The toponym ''Rebais'' is of Germanic origin, deriving from a High German dialect, ultimately from Proto-West-Germanic '' *hross''. The Germanic hydronym '' *-bak(i)'' entered the French language via High German, and took on two forms: the Germanic form ''-bach'' and Romantic ''-bais''.
