What Does the Name Barbarajo Mean?
Barbarajo is a rare feminine compound made from Barbara and Jo. Barbara derives from the Greek barbaros, a word for a non-Greek speaker that came to mean "foreign" or "strange"; the feminine name is conventionally translated "foreign woman." Jo is an English short form with more than one possible source. It can represent Joan or Johanna, which come from Hebrew Yochanan, usually rendered "God is gracious," or Josephine, the feminine of Joseph, from Hebrew Yosef, "he will add." Because the second element of Barbarajo is not tied to one of these full names, the compound has no single established meaning; only Barbara's meaning is clear.
Barbarajo Name History & Origins
Barbara comes from Greek barbaros by way of Latin Barbara; the name was borne in Christian tradition by Saint Barbara, a martyr of the third or fourth century, and it was used in medieval and early modern Europe, including England. Jo is a separate English short form: it was used for Joan (from Old French Jehanne, ultimately Hebrew Yochanan) and for Josephine (from French Joséphine, ultimately Hebrew Yosef). It also became a familiar independent feminine name and a common second element in two-part names such as Mary Jo. Barbarajo joins Barbara and Jo in one written form, following English compound naming practice. The older roots of its parts are Greek and Hebrew.
