What Does the Name Barbaraa Mean?

Barbaraa is a spelling variant of Barbara, a feminine name meaning "foreign woman" or "stranger." It comes from Latin Barbara, the feminine form of barbarus, which was borrowed from Greek barbaros (βάρβαρος). The Greek word originally described a person who did not speak Greek; it is usually explained as an imitation of unintelligible speech. Its older sense was "foreign" or "non-Greek," not the modern English sense of a savage or uncivilized person.

Barbaraa Name History & Origins

Barbara was used in Latin and in the vernacular languages of Christian Europe. The name is closely associated with Saint Barbara, a martyr of the early Christian period; according to tradition, she was a young woman of pagan family who converted to Christianity and was killed by her father. The Latin form Barbara gave rise to vernacular forms such as English Barbara.

Barbaraa is formed by adding a second final a to Barbara. The extra vowel is best treated as an orthographic variation rather than evidence of a separate root or a distinct linguistic tradition. Its history is therefore mainly the history of Barbara, with the spelling change accounting for the difference in form.
