Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Barborka je domácka zdrobnená podoba mena Barbora, utvorená príponou -ka. Základné meno pochádza z gréckeho bárbaros (βάρβαρος), označujúceho človeka hovoriaceho cudzím, negréckym jazykom. Ženská podoba má význam „cudzinka“. Slovenské utvorenie zdrobneniny nemení grécky pôvod základného mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Grécky pôvod základného mena uvádza Gréckokatolícka eparchia Bratislava. Podoby Barborka, Barbinka a Babula dokladá Rodinka.sk, podobu Baška EduSelf. Domácke tvary patria k spoločnému okruhu mena Barbora; zahraničné ekvivalenty okrem českého označujú základné meno, nie presnú zdrobneninu. Konkrétne heslo z monografie Milana Majtána ani priamy výklad JÚĽŠ SAV pre podobu Barborka sa nepodarilo overiť; profil preto nemožno označiť za priamo overený podľa týchto prameňov.
