How Popular Is The Name Barbara

Family name origins & meanings

  • Italian, Spanish and Portuguese (Bárbara), and English : from the female personal name Barbara, which was borne by a popular saint, who according to legend was imprisoned in a tower and later put to death by her own father for refusing to recant her Christian beliefs. The name comes from a feminine form of Latin barbarus, Greek barbaros ‘foreign(er)’ (originally an onomatopoeic word formed in imitation of the unintelligible babbling of non-Greeks).
  • Catalan (Barbarà) : variant of Barbera.
