The anteiglesia of San Vicente of Baracaldo, good known as Baracaldo (officially and in Basque Barakaldo) it is a municipality of the county of Biscay in Basque country (Spain). It is in the district of Great Bilbao, in the left margin of the creek of Nervión-Ibaizábal. He/she knows it to him as the industrial town and after Bilbao (the capital of the county) it is the town with more population.According to Manuel Azcárraga, the name of Baracaldo would come from the words in Basque Baratz (Vegetable garden) and Alde (to) (area). That is to say, Barakaldo would mean in Castilian something like that as Area of vegetable gardens. The name of Baratzaldea would have gone changing until arriving to current Barakaldo.
Theories that point to other origins exist. For example, it is believed that the first part (Bara) comes from Ibar (ra) (vega) that for degeneration its initial i could lose. Regarding the second part (kaldo), there is who he/she says that it derives directly of the Spanish broth, although the most probable thing, according to this theory, is that it is a degeneration of the word galdua (lost).
