Brazzaville's name derives from the colony's founder, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazzà, an Italian nobleman whose title referred to the town of Brazzacco, in the Italian comune of Moruzzo in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, whose name derived from the Latin Brattius or Braccius, both meaning literally "arm".

Who acts: name, title, both, Brazzaville · What happens: derive, refer, mean, name · To what, where: founder, Latin Brattius, arm
