form.Spanish and Galician: habitational name from any of various
places called (El or O) Barco, in particular Barco de Ávila

uncertain origin, possibly from the Celtic element bar-
‘height’, ‘eminence’.Spanish and Portuguese: metonymic
occupational name for a boatman, from Spanish, Portuguese barco
‘boat’.Italian (especially Piemonte, Lombardy, and Veneto): from
barco, which meant ‘boat’ (possibly derived from Spanish) and
