Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno pochádza zo starogréckeho prídavného mena bárbaros (βάρβαρος) vo význame „cudzí, cudzozemský“, odvodeného od označenia bárbaros „cudzinec, Negrék“. Gréci ním pomenúvali ľudí, ktorých reč vnímali ako nezrozumiteľnú. Prostredníctvom latinského mena Barbara sa rozšírilo v kresťanskej Európe; slovenská podoba Barbora vznikla jeho hláskovým prispôsobením.
