Barbara Family History
Barbara Name Meaning
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.
