Its inhabitants are Breitenbachois. Its official name distinguishes it from Breitenbach, Bas-Rhin.
The place name appears in thirteenth-century documents, and is composed of the words breit ("wide") and bach ("stream"). The valley in which it lies was a possession of the Abbey of Munster until the French Revolution.
