Founded by the Romans, the village's name originates from a deformation of its Latin name "Collubreira" and Provençal name "Colobreira" (grass snake), depicted in Collobrières' coat of arms by an azure door, a silver chestnut tree where two impaled grass snakes intertwine and a border bearing the word "Colobrières".
