The toponym "Gébroulaz" is derived from the Gaulish word gabra, meaning a female chamois, together with the diminutive suffix -oulaz. It is a traditional place name (or lieu-dit) of the Méribel area, and is also used in the names of a nearby glacier (Glacier de Gébroulaz) and mountain pass (Col de Gébroulaz).[1]
