| Summary: | barasway The name appears to be first recorded in Newfoundland by Lane in 1773 as G[reat] Barrysway and L[ittle] Barrysway, now BIG and LITTLE BARACHOIS (NTS Placentia), and presents an interesting example of a French name reverting to its French form after having been anglicized. A common name in Newfoundland, it occurs variously as Barachois, Barachoix, Barasway and Barrisway, but in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, according to the gazatteers, always as Barachois.
