Bambecque (in French pronounced as /bɑ̃bɛk/; Dutch; Flemish: Bambeke) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.[2]
Bambecque has historically been attested as Banbeca in 1164. The toponym Bambecque is of Germanic origin, deriving from a Low German dialect, ultimately from Proto-West-Germanic
. Within the Nord and Pas-de-Calais departments, the Germanic hydronym
entered the French language via Low German, and took on two forms: the Germanic form -beek and Romance -becque (also -bec, -becques).[3]
