Summary/Abstract: The Italianate name 'Birbante-rokka', coined by Adam Mickiewicz in his Pan Tadeusz, is dealt with. The name appears not to be conformant to the formative patterns of Italian. This paper attempts at explaining the anomaly, taking into account the metric reasons as well as a possible influence of English, the language Mickiewicz knew quite well.
