What is it called when there repetition of the same word at beginning a sentence?

That's called anaphora.

Anaphora is a rhetorical device that involves repeating the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses, phrases, or sentences. It creates emphasis and rhythm, drawing attention to the repeated words or phrases and making the writing more memorable.

Here's an example:

* "We shall not fail. We shall not falter. We shall not yield." - Winston Churchill

In this example, the word "We shall" is repeated at the beginning of each sentence, creating a powerful and memorable statement.
