ETYMOLOGY. It has Greek origin. A legend is linked to this name: Barbara was in fact the daughter of a very rich man, in the Nicomedia of the ninth century, and her parent had destined her in marriage to a man whom Barbara she did not love. The girl refused to marry him, she rejected her father's religion and converted to Christianity. Her father had her tried and sentenced to death.
