Baden-Baden formally got its current name in 1931. 'Baden-Baden' thus means the town of Baden in the territory of Baden, whereas the name of the Margraviate of Baden-Baden meant 'the Margraviate of Baden with its princely seat at Baden'. The name 'Baden-Baden' distinguished the Margraviate of Baden-Baden (1535–1771), from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach. The original Margraviate of Baden (1112-1535) split into several territories, including Baden-Baden and Baden-Durlach. The current doubled name arose to distinguish it from the others, particularly Baden near Vienna in Austria and Baden near Zürich in Switzerland. (Modern German uses the plural form Bäder.) As with the English placename 'Bath', other Badens are at hot springs throughout Central Europe. In modern German, Baden is a noun meaning 'bathing' but Baden, the original name of the town, derives from an earlier plural form of Bad ( 'bath'). The springs at Baden-Baden were known to the Romans as Aquae ('The Waters') and Aurelia Aquensis (' Aurelia-of-the-Waters') after M. In 2021, the town became part of the transnational UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name ' Great Spa Towns of Europe', because of its famous spas and architecture that exemplifies the popularity of spa towns in Europe in the 18th through 20th centuries.

Baden-Baden ( German pronunciation: ⓘ) is a spa town in the state of Baden-Württemberg, south-western Germany, at the north-western border of the Black Forest mountain range on the small river Oos, ten kilometres (six miles) east of the Rhine, the border with France, and forty kilometres (twenty-five miles) north-east of Strasbourg, France.
