Péchabou takes its name from the merger of Pech (Mount, the hill) and abou derived from Abbo (name of an ancient family of the village). This hypothesis would explain the double consonant of gentilé: pechabbolien (do).
Other tracks, however, were mentioned: Pechabou come from Podobonio (derived from the Latin podium designating a mound, as puech patois du Midi) and boun (Bonus Latin), meaning "good" - Péchabou, or village life is good.
Occupied since Roman times, Péchabou is a former stronghold of Toulouse bishops, perched atop a hill overlooking the course of Hers. Its territory is crossed by the Canal du Midi.
In 1950 Péchabou was a primarily agricultural town. She had no less than 17 farms (vineyards, cereals mainly). Today, only three farms are still present. However, the pleasant environment of this municipality has encouraged the construction of houses (plains and hills) either individual or grouped into subdivisions.
